You need to define the mount point for the drive in /etc/fstab and then add it as Storage in the proxmox gui
If you don't have a copy of /etc from the old install then you may need to recreate the VM .conf
Then re-scan the VM disks

For future reference, look into bkpcrit script - set target to non-root disk / NAS, put it nightly in cron and make sure you BACKUP your VMs - you don't require proxmox backup server for this, but it helps with dedup and other features

Okay, I lost all my VM, so I'm going to focus this other drive, so I start in the shell with "mkdir /mnt/pve/VOL-001" then my second step, where it gets me, so I proceed like this "zfs mount /dev/nvme1n1 /dev/nvme2n1 /mnt/pve/VOL-001" please look at the second screenshot of the output, I'm not very good at this please help.
