TrueNAS Core 13.0 complaining about disks not having IDs

I installed TrueNAS on my Proxmox 7.2 node with a 32GB virtual disk for OS and a 1.5T disk for data.

When I want to create a pool in TrueNAS, I get the following error

Code:
There are 1 disks available that have non-unique serial numbers. Non-unique serial numbers can be caused by a cabling issue and adding such disks to a pool can result in lost data.

What can I do to make Proxmox assign proper UUIDs to the disks?
 
Does that only work with hardware disk passthrough or am I just too tired and confused already? I don't really understand what I should do

Please attach the VM configuration file (from the /etc/pve/qemu-server/ directory) so we can check.
I assumed you did disk passthrough, which does tend to not have serial numbers unless you specify the (unique) numbers yourself.
 
OK, it was very simple, I just edited the config file

before:

Code:
boot: order=scsi0;ide2;net0
cores: 1
ide2: local:iso/TrueNAS-13.0-U2.iso,media=cdrom,size=1015130K
memory: 4096
meta: creation-qemu=7.0.0,ctime=1665080338
name: sharedTrueNAS
net0: virtio=<HIDDEN_MAC>,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1
numa: 0
onboot: 1
ostype: l26
scsi0: storage1:vm-104-disk-0,size=32G
scsi1: storage2:vm-104-disk-0,size=1500G
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=<HIDDEN_UUID>

after just adding the unique serials with ",serial=<UNIQUE_SERIAL>

Code:
boot: order=scsi0;ide2;net0
