ProxMox Synology Tips
Import ARPL.IMG
qm importdisk 100 /var/lib/vz/template/iso/arpl.img local
Hard Drive Passthrough
Run the following commands in the terminal of your choice. Must ssh or use web UI.
apt install lshw
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/
This will give you a list of all your disk ids. You can look in the GUI to find the correct Model & Serial.
ls -al /dev/disk/by-id | grep "serial or product”
Assign Drives to VM
Find your vm’s ID in Proxmox. It will be in parenthesis next to the vm name. Your first vm should be number 100. Mine is 102 in the next few lines.
qm set 100 -scsi0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-OOS12000G_00008LSX
qm set 100 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-OOS12000G_0000CTXW
qm set 100 -scsi2 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD40EZRZ-00GXCB0_WD-WCC7K1JLTECU
