Hi,

I'm trying to create a new VM, when Hard Disk tab is shown, Storage dropdown doesn't show any storage available:

Can you help me about this issue?

Thanks!
 
Very strange because I already have 8 VM running

This is my storage configured (Datacenter > Storage):

And these are the disks in pv0 > Disks:

But, I don't know why they're not being shown anymore when I try to create a new VM

Which shell commands could I try to troubleshoot Disk issues?

Thanks!
 
That's indeed strange. But that is no disk issue, the storage entry would show up anyway. You could try to create the VM via command line and see if there's an error message when you declare the storage to be used.
 
does the command 'pvesm status' give any error message ?
