[SOLVED] How to add a virtual disk to VM via command line qm set?

[r4dh4l]

Hi,

maybe a very simple question but reading https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/qm.1.html I didn't understand how to use the qm set command for adding a second virtual disk to an existing VM.

What I'm looking for is the equivalent to VM Management -> Add -> Hard Disk -> (default settings: SCSI, VirtIO SCSI). So maybe something like:

qm set VMID --scsi1 ,size=32G

But trying this command proxmox reports:

400 Parameter verification failed.
scsi1: invalid format - format error
scsi1.file: property is missing and it is not optional

What am I doing wrong?

You don't tell where to store the virtual disk and under which name. You could try something like this:
qm set 1000 --scsi1 YourVMStorageId:vm-1000-disk-1,size=32G

Thank you. "YourVMStorageId" is, for example, "local-zfs"?

Jup, the name of your storage you use to store your VMs.

There s a simplified syntax for the command line:

# qm set 1000 --scsi1 YourVMStorageId:32

This is mentioned in the "qm" manual page:

Use the special syntax STORAGE_ID:SIZE_IN_GiB to allocate a new volume.
