Hi :)

I am new with Proxmox, and i have a issue with local storage and cluster:
I have 3 servers, the first is the lead of the cluster.
on my third server i have a raid for system, and another for the VM storage.
On this server, before join the cluster, i have create a physical volume and a volume group on the partition /dev/sdb1
Next, i add a LVM group with my volume group, then i see on the left my new storage.

But when i have joined the cluster, it disapeared, and now i have only my system disk on my server number 3.
If i look in "datacenter" --> "Storage", i don't see my LVM, and i can't add it, the list is empty...

Any idea ?
 
Ok, i found...
I must connect to the URL of the server 3, then i see the volume group; if i connect to the url of the master server, i don't see it.
I thought the "datacenter" menu was common to all 3 servers with the cluster.
thx :)

Okay. You VG seems to be empty. Is this correct?

And in GUI your VG is NOT shown? For example i added a screenshot of my own view. I have disks with a seperate volume group of each one.

Oh well, yes. But if you want to use the VG as storage you have to add it in datacenter view i think.
