Enabling Disk UUID in VMware via vSphere Client

  1. Right-click the virtual machine for which you want to enable the disk UUID attribute, and select Power > Power Off. Wait for the virtual machine to power off
  2. Right-click the virtual machine, and click Edit Settings.
  3. Click the Options tab, and select the General entry in the settings column.
  4. Click Configuration Parameters. The Configuration Parameters window appears.
  5. Click Add Row.
  6. In the Name column, enter disk.EnableUUID.
  7. In the Value column, enter TRUE.
  8. Click OK and click Save.
  9. Power on the virtual machine.

After the VM is powered on, you can see that a WWN is available for all the disks attached to the VM. This WWN will be used by OpenEBS to uniquely identify the virtual disks.
