Access to other disks in server

[udo]

Hi Udo,

Thanks for the quick reply.

The storage I am using is of type LVM; the physical volume seen by Proxmox is a volume on a Fibre Channel SAN, and the VM images are logical volumes in a new volume group vg1 which includes this physical volume.

What is the correct way to create a new logical volume and make it visible to an existing VM as a second disk?

I got it to work OK from the command line but of course I'd like to know what the correct way to do this is.

Best regards,

George

Hi George,
define the storage in the storage-menu (lvm-storage, name vg1).
Then you can add a new hard-disk for a vm and you can select this new storage (instead of local) for this new vm-disk.

Hi Udo,

Thanks for pointing out there was a correct place in the GUI to do this, with your hints I found it was at:

Virtual Machine Configuration > Hardware > Hardware list for VMxxx > drop down menu "add a hard disk" > select vg1 for hard disk storage.

With best regards,

George
