Enabling Disk UUID’s in VMWare Workstation
When you are trying use VMWare Workstation as host for ex. TrueNAS the disk has no serial number (UUID) as default.
Then you can’t create a disk pool in TrueNAS without enable support for using disk without serial number (UUID).
To solve this you edit the “.VMX” for the virtual machine.
1. Shutdown the virtual machine in VMWare workstation.
2. In the directory where the virtual machine is located, find the file “VMX” file.
3. If your virtual machine is call “TrueNAS” the file will be named “TrueNAS.vmx”
4. Open the VMX file with and editor and add:disk.EnableUUID = "TRUE"
5. At the buttom of the file and save the file.
6. Start the virtual machine and verify your disk now have serial numbers assigned.
