Adding physical to drive to storage pool

[Petrus4]

I have just added a new hd to my proxmox-ve machine. I would like to add it to the storage pool so I can add more kvm and openvz instances. So I am trying to extend the /dev/pve/data logical volume.

I am following the directions to do this here

Just wanted to make sure this is the correct way to do this on the proxmox-ve. If not, can someone direct me to the correct documenation?

thanks!

Yes, that should work.

Hi,
if you use the search function (look for vgextend) you will find some postings about this. Like this: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/3278-LVM-resize?p=18453#post18453

Below is the screenshot after adding storage.. but I just wonder why my 228.39 has been used already even if this is a new added and reformatted sata drive.. Can't I use the whole 698.15?
