Fiber Channel Storage as Directory

[babak]

Hi
I configured a Fiber channel storage( with multipath) and partition and put ext4 file system on it . I do not want to put LVM on it I want to use it as directory to be able to save everything on it. How i can add it to proxmox as directory or storage?

Regards

just mount it persistently like you would anything else:

then create appropriate storage type pointing to the appropriate path:

And keep in mind that you CANNOT mount it on multiple hosts ON THE SAME TIME. Besides that, it should work just fine.

How I can add this 2 to Disks as Directory

The answer is always - it depends. There is a hundred different ways to do it. This method is as good as any - https://askubuntu.com/questions/219881/how-can-i-create-one-logical-volume-over-two-disks-using-lvm

or Disks LVM-thin not as Storage on Datacenter?

I cant parse what you are asking here.

What is difference between Directory and LVM-thin in Datacenter Storage with in Proxmox node Disks Directory/LVM-thin ?

Directory is for file storage.
LVM thin is for block storage.
This page covers the basics pretty well: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage
