hello dear community,

i have disks attached to my system that i have not actively mounted in proxmox. I have only connected them to the server and not mounted or formatted them in proxmox (because I still need the data that is on the disks).

Now I wanted to pass them through to mount them in Openmediavault (Openmediavault is VM100).

I listed my disks:
2023-04-18 21_23_52-NVIDIA GeForce Overlay.png


and then entered the following commands for each:

Code:
qm set 100 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD1003FBYX-50Y7B1_WD-WCAW36FKX2T

qm set 100 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD1003FBYX-50Y7B1_WD-WCAW36FKX24

qm set 100 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD10EZEX-08WN4A0_WD-WCC6Y4PS1L44

qm set 100 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD30EZRX-00SPEB0_WD-WCC4E4Z7FVSD


but unfortunately got this error message:
2023-04-18 21_25_29-.png


What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much, and best regards!

You try to passthough 4 disks as SCSI slot 1. In case your VM with VMID 100 only got one SCSI disk (that would be "scsi0") you would need to pass them through with "-scsi1", "-scsi2", "-scsi3" and "-scsi4".

Otherwise the command looks fine to me. Not sure why it can't find that disk when ls -la /dev/disk/by-id lists them.

stop, i just had a thought.....

I have defined in Openmediavault at Bus/Device instead of SCSI --> VirtlO Block.
Because of the performance.

Do I have to define -virtlo1 (...2.....3, etc.) with the command then?
 
I have no expierence with passthrough like that, but i saw something in your screenshots:

On the CLI, it ends with FX2T. But in the "disks" screenshot, it ends with an additional "A".

Did you actually tab-complete the path on the cli?

right, i see it.
I did not complete anything with the tab key, I highlighted the serial numbers and copied them with ctrl+c. I will try again tomorrow, because I also see that this could also apply to the other hard drives.

I will try again tomorrow and report back.

Thanks a lot
 
Jup, right. the last letter in one line below in this screenshot because of a hard line break, so you probably only copy-pasted it without the letter in the line below:
