using 4.4.15-1-pve on all 3 nodes

2 nodes setup with zfs filesystem so have local + local-zfs as storage (standalone)
1 node_X (low ram 8GB ) setup lvm so have only local as storage (standalone )

I try to add 1 node_X without zfs filesystem to the cluster and when node_X move to the cluster I can see ithat automatically add a local-zfs and it takes this storage as default, then it doesn't let me choose local(node_X) but only local-zfs(node_X), that of course doesn't exits, so I'm not enable to upload or restore any vm.

any solutions for this ?
 
you can edit your storage configuration under
"Datacenter -> Storage"

there you can limit the "local-zfs" storage to the nodes which have the zfs
and you can add a directory storage (anywhere you like) and limit it to the 3rd host

so now on node_X (old-nero) I have only local(old-nero) , result:
I can restore VMs but I can't upload ISO
