I installed Proxmox latest version 8.1.4 and when I try to create a VM it tells unable to create VM 100 - no such logical volume pve/data in Promox. How do I fix this so that I can build a VM. I do fix this I don't how to and I am a new user of Proxmox. Please give step-by-step to follow. I need help ASAP. My email address is JWManess66@gmail.com.

Thank you

Hey,

can you paste me your storage.cfg located in /etc/pve/storage.cfg ?

edit: did you use the official Proxmox VE installer ISO or did you tried to install it on top of debian?

Thanks a lot

This is what it had.
dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content iso,vztmpl, backup
lvmthin: local-lvm
thinpool data
vgname pve
content rootdir, images
 
What is the output of :
pvs
vgs
lvs
lsblk

Please encode each one in CODE tags available from formatting menu at the top of the posting box.

Essentially, your storage configuration file tells Proxmox that there should be an LVM volume group called "pve", which includes LVM thinpool called "data". However, its not there as far as Proxmox can check, for whatever reason. In the end, its up to you to figure out what happened.
