Grouping VM IDs (vmids) under storage pool IDs (in the Proxmox GUI)

[BrettR]

Is there a way to configure the Proxmox GUI to display vmids under the 'storage pool ID' that
they use for their local disk drive?

e.g.
You could have 5 VM IDs appear under the 'local' storage pool..
You could have 10 (separate) VM IDs appear under a 'local2' storage pool...

Thanks!

Currently there's no such way to directly have such a column. But, the VMID is encoded in the volume name, so the storage content listing gives this information indirectly (and you can sort by name, which sorts by VMID as that comes first in the storage volume name).

Or do you mean to display it in the "resource tree" on the left? How to display VMs with disks on multiple storages?

Yes, the "resource tree" on the left side of the GUI (below the Datacenter icon and the Proxmox Node icon).

Thanks!

I don't suppose in the years since this post that there is now a way to do this? I have 3 different pools, and would like the VMs to appear under the corresponding pool icon in the far left tree view

mmm,do you mean the pool view ?

if the vm are in pools, you can display them grouped by pool, using the comboxbox on top on tree, and choose "pool view"

OMG! Yes! This is exactly what I wanted, thank you!
Is there a way to set this view as the default view for all users?

I dont think it's currently possible, but maybe do a feature request on bugzilla.proxmox.com ?
