SCSI ID changed after reboot

[ttmozart]

Hi All

here is a question about the Linux guest OS scsi id, the Linux vm has 4 disks ,two scsi controllers ,0:0 and 1:0 ,
first ,when I checked the lsscsi,the device showed as the following :
[0:0:0:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sda
[1:0:0:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sdb
[1:0:1:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sdc
[1:0:2:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sdd
[1:0:3:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sde
but after rebooted ,the scsi id changed with following
[0:0:0:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sda
[3:0:0:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sdb
[3:0:1:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sdc
[3:0:2:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sdd
[3:0:3:0]    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     2.0   /dev/sde

it doesn't happen every reboot, probably 2 or 3 times reboot .

But Why ?  it's normal ?

thanks.

Hi there

Were you able to resolve your issue? I think we have a similar behavior on some RHEL 8.6 VMs (VM Version 15) with latest open-vm tools . Would be interesting to know if you were able to fix it.

Thank you, Dan
