OVMF menu choose between drives

[Gyari]

Hello!

I'm just playing around with VMs with OVMF. If i have attached to the VM 2 CD/DVD Drives, how can i tell which drive is which in OVMF menu >> Boot Manager? In the proxmox gui i can't see any information about it, only this: ide0, ide2, but under the Boot Manager menu i can only see these: UEFI QEMU DVD-ROM QM00001, UEFI QEMU DVD-ROM QM0003. These are just linux isos, but i can't figure it out which i want to start, all i have is guessing. is there any other method beside guessing?

Thanks any help!

I'm not sure where OVMF reads these values from, but you could try setting the "model", "serial" or "wwn" properties on the drives in your config. This has to be done manually, i.e. modifying "/etc/pve/qemu-server" or using qm set <vmid> -ideX [existing info from 'qm config <vmid>'],serial=abcdefgh for example.

But taking a guess here, they probably share the same order, i.e. QM0001 will be ide0 and QM0003 will be ide2.

Thanks! I'm gonna try out the manually mode.

My guessing was based on exactly as you wrote.
