Check for the Disk to add:

lsblk -o +MODEL,SERIAL,WWN

Example results:

With this we can identify the ID of the disk since it won't have any partition assigned then we can run:

sudo lsblk |awk 'NR==1{print $0" DEVICE-ID(S)"}NR>1{dev=$1;printf $0" ";system("find /dev/disk/by-id -lname \"*"dev"\" -printf \" %p\"");print "";}'|grep -v -E 'part|lvm'

This means we can finally run the command to add the disk:

💡
NOTE:
100 -> MachineId in Proxmox
-sata4 -> The disk name that will be assigned on hardware page
qm set 100 -sata4 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD40EFAX-68JH4N1_WD-WXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Reboot the machine and we can now use the new disk inside the machine

💡
Change the Disk type from SCSI to VirtIO Block:
- Detach the disk in the proxmox UI
- The disk will be shown as unused disk
- Double click the disk to attach and chose VirtIO Block instead of SCSI
