[SOLVED] Create storage with same name on different nodes

[TodorPetkov]

Hello,

I just installed 3 node cluster, PVE 7.0-2. Each node has 2 drives, sda and sdb. On the first node, I created lvmthin pool called "pool-sas" on the sdb drive. When I tried to do the same on the other two nodes, I got an error for duplicate storage name. I ended deleting the storage via pvesm, created such storage on the second node, then deleted it again, run "pvesm add lvmthin pool-sas --thinpool pool-sas --vgname pool-sas" to enable it on the first and second node, then again delete, create on third node, "pvesm add lvmthin pool-sas --thinpool pool-sas --vgname pool-sas".

Is this the proper way to do it? I usually create the local storages before joining the cluster, but decided to do it later this time.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I think you make all you need but not inthe good order.

On CLI:
Prepare your sdb drive like you need, with mountpoints declared

On web Interface, in the "datacenter" view:
Add storage. It will be declared on all nodes of the DC referenced

Got it, thanks.
