**SCSI_ID doesn't return anything**

If the SCSI_ID doesn't return anything there are 2 possibilities
  - You are using VMware vSphere and the settings for that are disabled (default)
  - You are using Linux 5 and you don't use the /block/sd* path

Please correct the above problems and restart the program.
