Hi,

I'm adding the one new 500GB disk to the cluster. It's on the 2nd host. I already use pvcreate and vgcreate to get a new Volume group like below:

root@vsh2:~# pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda2 pve lvm2 a-- 465.26g 15.99g
/dev/sdb vsh2-2-500GB lvm2 a-- 465.76g 465.76g




The volume group name is vsh2-2-500GB. But I don't see this volume group name in the web gui when I tried to add this storage to the storage list. It only shows "pve" and another volume group "local-1TB" I created in the "Volume group" drop down list. I have recreated volume group and reboot the machine. The volume group name still doesn't show up in the GUI. I know it's there since pvs command shows correct name.

Any idea why the vsh2-2-500GB name doesn't list in the GUI? Thanks a lot.

Hi,
do you see the storage if you use the IP of the second node for the webfrontend?

You rock. I didn't think about that. It works now. I added to the storage list through second node's ip webfront. Thanks a lot!
