Unable to Create VM Snapshots on Proxmox with HPE MSA 1050

[belkitos]

Good afternoon, everyone!


I’m facing an issue with Proxmox. I have an HPE MSA 1050 SAN configured for HA, and I’m not able to create snapshots of the VMs stored on this disk.


OBS*: From what I’ve read in some documents and forum threads, it seems that LVM does not support snapshots.
Is there any alternative way to configure this storage so that I can use snapshots for the virtual machines?


Thanks in advance for your help!

LVM does not support snapshots

It does if you enable it. We just recently tralked about this here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/pve-9-cant-create-snapshot-on-lvm-thick.171513/

Or maybe you could create a thin pool on your LVM storage and use that instead: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pv..._lv_for_span_class_monospaced_var_lib_vz_span
This way you also ahve thin provisioning and don't have to re-create and can easily move existing disks over to it after adding it via Datacenter > Storage.

I tested it last week and no option to enable snapshots appears.
Thanks for the tip.

It's a new feature in PVE 9.
