Enabling Forced Detection of SSDs

Certain solid-state drives (SSDs) may not be autodetectable by the installer. This may result in issues when you create or join Parallels Cloud Storage clusters. To avoid this problem, you can force the installer to identify the required drives as SSDs by doing the following:

1. On the installer welcome screen, choose the desired installation option.
2. Press Tab to edit the chosen installation option.
3. In the console prompt that appears, add the following parameter at the end of the installation command:

   ssd_hack=sd <N> [,...]

   where <N> is the letter of the required SSD (see an example below).

   

4. Press Enter to start installation.

The installer will identify the specified drives as SSDs.
