Hello!
I have 3 node in cluster (I just want add to manager center), and I want to add lvm-thin local storage with same name, is there any way to do it ? I was add but it show
storage ID 'vmdata' already defined (500)
 
You cannot have two storages with the same name in the cluster.
But you can have a local storage (i.e. named 'vmdata') on all or some servers in the cluster (in fact there will be x local storages, one on each server, but with the same storage name).

yes, I want to this because my module connect with name storage, but when I add local storage it show error, storage ID 'vmdata' already defined (500), can you tell me how to add same local storage name ?
thank you
 
I just created it successfully with manual add storage, but now I have error when I migrate offline it error
storage 'vmdata' is not available on source node
 
You should create a LVM thinpool on each server (Datacenter/server/disks/lvm-thin -> create thinpool) with same name and then create in Datacenter / storage a LVM-Thin storage. Hope I was explicit because I'm so tired now, so be careful what you do in the interface.
