Greetings,

I've already had 500GB storage which is about to reach its capacity. Now I installed a new SSD of 1 TB. I'm new to promx , is there any way I could use that with old ssd like a mirror or some thing. Or I need to make new partation and move all running vmz to 1TB ?

cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
Code:
dir: local
        path /var/lib/vz
        content snippets,iso,images,vztmpl,rootdir,backup
        prune-backups keep-all=1
shared 0

pvesm status
Code:
ame         Type     Status           Total            Used       Available        %
local         dir     active       469802424       232756912       213157848   49.54%

I would appriciate if any share method how to add new ssd in promox and move vmz into it.
 
You can wipe the new SSD to delete everything on it (YourNode -> Disks -> YourNewDisk -> Wipe Disk), then create a new storage of your choice on your wiped SSD (if you want LVM-Thin for example: YourNode -> Disks -> LVM-Thin -> Create: Thinpool) and then create new VMs on the new LVM-Thin storage and/or move old VMs from "local" to your new storage (there is a "move disk" button in the VMs hardware tab).
