Add Storage

[Kamilon]

I've followed a couple tutorials on how to add storage but I can't seem to get the final steps working...

root@machinename:~# lvmdiskscan
/dev/sda2 [ 256.00 MiB]
/dev/sda3 [ 45.75 GiB] LVM physical volume
/dev/sdb [ 557.75 GiB] LVM physical volume
/dev/sdc [ 10.91 TiB] LVM physical volume
/dev/sdd [ 10.91 TiB] LVM physical volume
0 disks
1 partition
3 LVM physical volume whole disks
1 LVM physical volume

I'm trying to get sdb/sdc/sdd all setup to use for storage. Ideally sdc/sdd is also sharable between my other hosts.

What am I missing?

did you create a volume group / thinpool on it?

you have to use something like nfs to share it to the other hosts

I created volume groups but they don't show up when I try to add storage via Datacenter.

I added some but they don't show up under storage under Datacenter.

what did you try to add? if you have volume groups you should be able to add "LVM" storages for each VG

what did you add?
if you created an nfs export, you have to add it via storages yourself
