Virtual Drive Serial # Incorrect (Storage => View Disks)

[svtkobra7]

When looking at disks attached to FreeNAS (FreeNAS-11.2-U1) via Storage => View Disks, two virtual disks (da1 & da2) presented to FreeNAS from ESXi (Optane 900p for SLOG) are incorrectly picking up the serial numbers from da3 & 4, respectively (which are physical disks connected to a passed through HBA).

I know there is a way to fix this as I did in the past (and believe a search on this forum helped), but I've been unable to recall how I did so and the process. Does anyone recall how to remove the erroneous serial number from those vDisks? I've tried rebooting and toggling Enable S.M.A.R.T. to no avail. I've included the SMART detail as I want to say it had something to do with this.

I've included probably more information than is likely needed in an effort to assist ...

(a trivial "issue" but slightly annoying)

Summary of all Disks

• da0 = boot
• da1 & da2 = 20GB vDisk for SLOG (Enable S.M.A.R.T. = unchecked)
• da3 - da14 = WDC 10 TB HDDs (Enable S.M.A.R.T. = checked)

Storage => View Disks
