Hello newbie here,

I would like to pass into Windows VM two hard drives in RAID1 configuration (plugged into motherboard) and extra nvme SSD (not boot SSD).

I tried to install lshw but I got error “Unable to locate package lshw”.

Please give me some advice on how to make it work.

Thanks.
 
Hello,
please post the output of lsblk
This will show all storage devices.

Btw. you don't need to install lshw it's already installed.

Is this a vanilla PVE installation or something "special"? Which version? Uptodate? pveversion?

As @smueller said, "lshw" should be installed and usable!

To verify the status you can post the full output of apt policy lshw.
 
lshw doesn’t seem to be installed.
I am running version: 8.2.2/9355359cd7afbae4 (running kernel: 6.8.4-2-pve), I downloaded it from official website.
Output of lsblk included.

Then you just can install it ;-) apt install lshw.

It is suspicious that it is not already installed though...

PS: I know this is not your primary problem - regarding Raid1/Windows/Passthrough I can't help, sorry.

I agree, however while researching the OP's missing lshw package, I made the fantastic discovery that I neither had the lshw package installed. I am 100% sure I have used it in the past, & upon searching my history I found it in history about 500 commands ago, (hard to tell how long ago that is). Installing it with apt install lshw fixed this.

I did some google searching & discover other Debian bookworm users with similar issue. Something must have changed / gone wrong somewhere.
 
So I tried to install lshw multiple times before and always got error Unable to locate package lshw. This morning I tried installing it again and it passed. I haven't done any changes and only command related to lshw that I ran was apt policy lshw.
I don't know what to think about this.
