Probably asked hundreds of times, passing HDD through to VM.

Question

I've followed 2 instructions for passing a HDD through to a VM running Win Server 2022.

First I wiped the disc in Proxmox, then I did the following:

- ls -n /dev/disk/by-id/

- /sbin/qm set [VM-ID] -virtio2 /dev/disk/by-id/[DISK-ID]

- ls -n /dev/disk/by-id/

- qm set 101 -scsi2 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-yourdisk_id

The disc shows in the VM hardware section and I have unticked 'backup' it does not show in the disk management in Windows Server.

I'm a complete newbie, what have I done wrong or missed here?
