    Add physical storage to cluster

    Hi, new Korean newbie is here. It's just a question, could I add physical storage as 1 node in cluster? I think, as far as I know, it's impossible because clustering requires pve os. It's a shame, but I've been working as a hardware engineer for less than a year. I hope anyone tell me truth. Thx.
