 The following requirements apply to import:
 
-* The disks must have a [`label`](#label) argument assigned in a convention matching `diskN`, starting with disk number 0, based on each virtual disk order on the SCSI bus. As an example, a disk on SCSI controller `0` with a unit number of `0` would be labeled as `disk0`, a disk on the same controller with a unit number of `1` would be `disk1`, but the next disk, which is on SCSI controller `1` with a unit number of `0`, still becomes `disk2`.

 * Disks are always imported with [`keep_on_remove`](#keep_on_remove) enabled until the first `terraform apply` run which will remove the setting for known disks. This process safeguards against naming or accounting mistakes in the disk configuration.
