How do you attach a disk to a VM?

[Red Squirrel]

Seems this should be something simple to do but can't seem to find the option anywhere. I want to create my disks manually so I can preallocate them as there does not seem to be an option to do that while creating the VM, but I also see no option to add the disks. Is there a way to do this?

Figured it out, looks like you have to edit /etc/pve/qemu-server/xxx.conf where xxx is vm number. Would be nice if there was a way through the gui to do it though.

you do not have to edit the file manually, you can use the api/cli

pvesm alloc <storage> <vmid> <filename> <size>

allocates a new disk

and with

qm set ID -scsiX 'storage:volumeid'

you can attach it
