After some poking around Google, following solution worked without having to modify anything on Ubuntu. I preferred hardware error to be offloaded to hardware (or VMware).

- Start the
vSphere Client
, and log in to avCenter Server
. - Select
Virtual Machines and Templates
and click theVirtual Machines
tab. Right-click
the virtual machine for which you are enabling the disk UUID attribute, and selectPower
>Power Off
.
The virtual machine powers off.- Right-click the virtual machine, and click
Edit Settings
. - Click the
Options
tab, and select theGeneral
entry in the settings column. - Click
Configuration Parameters
. The Configuration Parameters window appears. - Click
Add Row
. - In the Name column, enter
disk.EnableUUID
. - In the Value column, enter
TRUE
. - Click
OK
and clickSave
. Power on
the virtual machine.

That’s it.
