You can also check - and use in /etc/fstab - the /dev/disk/by-*
symlinks.

In a VM, maybe the most relevant "id" is the actual path.
/dev/disk/by-path has these links (in my case):

  pci-0000:06:05.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> sda
  pci-0000:00:05.0-scsi-0:0:0:1 -> sdb

If your sdb/sdc are swapped, the SCSI IDs in the path should still
be correct.

If you don't like the pci path in there, /dev/disk/by-id has:
  scsi-0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_drive-scsi0 -> sda
  scsi-0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_drive-scsi1 -> sdb

But you'll have to check if those match with the VM settings (I'd
expect them to).

As you've discovered and others have said, lsscsi, or lsblk -S can
be used to see the SCSI IDs, too. The same info is also availabe
from udevadm: udevadm info /dev/sda
If you dig around in /sys, it's also there ;-)

HTH,
Chris
