I am trying to create disk in Azure - US-East region and keep getting the same SCSI Unique Id for all my disks. Following is Get-Disk results and you can see that two of the virtual disks have the same UniqueId. I have tried creating additional new disks, but they show the same Id as well. Is there any issue with the controllers in Azure?
I believe it has something to do with the state of the Azure machine itself.
1. Initially I had data disk with cache enabled and then I changed it to None to create RAID. After that I changed the disks again as Cached and created RAID on it. After when I tried changing the disks again for creating a RAID over non-cached drives, I encountered issue where-in all the disks seem to be getting same unique id. This makes me believe this has something to do with state if the machine and it's scsi/disk controller.
2. One the machine reaches this state, I can create new data disk with read or read/write cache enabled that get a unique id and I can create RAID on top of them. However when I add disks with no disk cache, they all seem to be getting same unique id value.
3. Changing the read or read/write cache enabled disks to "None" cached disk changes their unique id to be non-unique as well. i.e 4D5346542020202000000000000000000000000000000000 . Looking for forums, I see this id appearing for anyone who has issues with unique id. Does this mean anything?
Following is what I see on virtual machine:

PhysicalDisk2 4D5346542020202000000000000000000000000000000000
PhysicalDisk7 4D5346542020202000000000000000000000000000000000
Here, the last data three disks are in non-cached mode and the ones with valid unique id are in read-cache mode. Can you please suggest as this is hampering our performance testing for certain scenarios.
Thanks
