how to register vms into pve

[joec22]

I have vm's that I can see, but I don't know how to get them into pve. They used to be on a pve system, and this is a new installation with the same set of storage disks that were not formatted. Here you can see the vm's:

lcpuck9:~# ls /dev/mapper/
control   pvedata-vm--101--disk--1  pvedata-vm--101--disk--3  pvedata-vm--102--disk--2	pve-swap
pve-data  pvedata-vm--101--disk--2  pvedata-vm--102--disk--1  pve-root

And here you can see the vg:

lcpuck9:~# vgdisplay pvedata

Hi,
you have an second lvm-storage named pvedata (not the same as the original /dev/pve/data).
define that storage in the gui as lvm-storage (for vm-disks, not shared).
If you now create an vm with the number 101 the disks should appear in the hardware-tab as unused disks - you can add them.
If not, you must assign the tags, or modify the config-file yourself.
