Hi everyone,

We have a piece of software that we need to install that won't install unless it sees a NVME drive as the hardware.

I understand that that is possible to change the drive emulation to be NVME through editing the VM machine config file.

So far I have been unable to get it to work though.

I have a LVM volume setup to store all the Virtual machine disks called VMDatastore

and an unused disk configured on the Virtual machine

I have tried both the following commands in the config file

-drive file=/dev/VMdatasore/vm-108-disk-1,if=none,id=NVME1 -device nvme,drive=NVME1,serial=nvme-1

args: -drive file=/dev/VMDatastore/vm-108-disk-1,if=none,id=nvme1 -device nvme,drive=nvme1,serial=nvme1

Both are reporting they cannot open the disk, with no suck file or directory.

How do I identify the correct path to the disk file on a LVM volume ?

or any other suggestions on how to resolve ?

Thanks
