Hello,

I'm experimenting with proxmox ve but I don't understand how to assign a openvz container to storage.

My local storage is (deliberately) full, so I created & added two LVM groups (one actually has two disks). Their content can be "Virtual disks" (which is default and cannot be changed for LVM it seems)

If I create a new container I get:

unable to create VE 104: command 'vzctl create 104 --ostemplate ubuntu-8.0-standard_8.04-1_i386 --config pve.auto' failed with exit code 48:
Can't create directory /var/lib/vz/private/104.tmp: No space left on device

Which makes sense. How can I create this VE on the new LVM groups? And can a VE grow over two LVM groups?

Is it related to the "Virtual Disks" concept? I cannot find what it is and how it should work.

Thanks. Wessel
 
Check out my thread around here, I ran into the same problem. You can't use OpenVZ on your LVM storage from what I gathered.

openvz can only use one local storage.
