Good afternoon people :)
This is my first post so thank you for any assistance you can offer me.
I've just built my first Proxmox server and have encountered my first problem. I'll explain what i've done so far so please ask questions if i've missed anything out.

Server is Intel i5 with 16Gb RAM.
Hard drives installed currently:-
2 x 120Gb SSD - 1st one has Proxmox installed and will be used for Linux Virtual Environments, other SSD for Windows (can you have Proxmox and VM's on the same disk?)
2 x 1Tb spindles - these are going to be for .ISO's, Software, Drivers on 1 and music on the other
2 x 2Tb spindles - these are currently NTFS with films and TV shows on - want to pass them through to PLEX (if possible).

I followed YouTube videos of creating USB install media and installed to the 1st 120Gb SSD.
Plugged the other 5 drives in, booted and I can access from my laptop - all good.
Uploaded ubuntu 18.04.3 live server iso to "local (proxmox)" storage and created a VM. Went through the install - all good.
Created 2 ZFS file systems (called them pmve-1tb-01 -- pmve-1tb-02) but how do I use these disks? The 'upload' button is greyed out!

Like I said, it's my 1st attempt at Proxmox so I may have missed some vital info out - please ask and i'll promptly update.

Many thanks,

Darren

Yes, sure.

Upload your isos to the local proxmox as with the ubuntu install and on the dialog where you create the VMs, use the zfs pool as the destination.
