28 Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series and Microsoft Hyper-V | 3921-BP-WS
The new disk (Disk 3 in this example) should now be listed. Usually, the bottom disk will be the one
most recently added.
10. Type select disk # (# represents the number of the new disk, Disk 3 in this example) and press
[Enter].
11. Type uniqueid disk and press [Enter] to view the current ID for the disk.
12. To change the disk ID, type uniqueid disk ID=<newid> and press [Enter].
- For <newid>, provide a random ID of your choice. For an MBR disk, the new ID must be an
eight-character string in hexadecimal format using a mix of the numbers 0–9 and the letters A–F.
- For a GPT disk, the new ID must be a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID).
13. Type uniqueid disk again and press [Enter] to verify the ID is now changed.
Now that the disk has a new signature, it can be unmapped from the standalone host server and re-
mapped to the cluster without causing a disk ID conflict.
14. Recover the guest VM.
