Hi, I've just upgraded to 1.5 and I've had a look at the "add storage" possibility.
In the release note I see that 1.5 has been updated to AOE6-7, but in the list of available storage type I don't see AOE, just "ISCSI target", "NFS share", "LVM group" and "Directory".
So the question is, how can I add Ata Over Ethernet storage?

Just install and configure aoetools.

Code: 
# apt-get install aoetools

then edit /etc/default/aoetools and restart the service.

When you finally have an aoe device, I think it is best to add LVM on it, because you can manage it with our web interface.
 
Hi Dietmar,
Say I create a block device using AOE on a linux machine called e0.1. So in proxmox if I do the following will it work?
apt-get install aoetools
aoe-discover
aoe-stat
It should display the new block device /dev/etherd/e0.1
Then if I simply format it
mkfs.ext3 /dev/etherd/e0.1
Will it show up in the web interface?
How do I add LVM on it?

You do not have to format the device if you you want to use it as LVM. Take a look here - http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#Use_local_devices_.28like_.2Fdev.2Fsd...2F.2C_FC.29
 
Ok I created the LVM Group through the web interface. Now how do I store the VE on that LVM. The web interface does not give me any option as to where the VE should run from for example LVM for shared storage.
 
do you see this storage on the list (Configuration/Storage - and is it active and enabled?

if yes, you have a drop down list if you create a new KVM VM´s (Disk Storage: drop down list).
