I have partitioned it.

I already partitioned it, but I don't know how to use it for you system either.

Hi Mickael,
you can choose different solutions:
1. Expand the existing volumegroup and than pve-data - makes perhaps not realy sense, because you can't control which vm-disk are on the fast ssd and which are on the slow sata drive.
2. create an new lvm-storage on the second disk (in short partitioning, create vg, define storage).
3. create an filesystem on the second disk and use this for the vm-disks (in short partitioning, create filesystem, mount filesystem, define storage)

Each has pros and cons and depends on your usage. Use also the search function, there a a lot of similiar posts (pve 1.x).
