      Storage team has observed that if disk.EnableUUID flag is not enabled on vSphere VMs in any platform, including baremetal, then no symlinks are generated in /dev/disk/by-id for attached disks.

      Installing ODF via LSO or something on such a platform results in somewhat fragile installation because disks themselves could be renamed on reboot and since no permanent ids exists for disks, the PVs could become invalid.

      We should update baremetal installs - https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.13/installing/installing_bare_metal/installing-bare-metal.html to always enable disk.EnableUUID in both IPI and UPI installs.
