I created a cluster with 3 servers, one of the servers had 2 raid arrays, array 1 was used for install and array 2 needs to become available at least for cluster node it is on.

I am not completely sure what route to take but what I found that LVM storage model should work for this setup.
I followed instructions here - https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model

I verified that volume is available with fdisk -l then fan following commands as per instructions from wiki page

pvcreate /dev/sdb
Physical volume "/dev/sdb" successfully created

vgcreate sb2-storage /dev/sdb
Volume group "sb2-storage" successfully created

Next step is to open web interface and configure storage, by selecting Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> LVM

However, Group I added on the server is not visible in Volume Group field. There is only one option "pve"

What am I doing wrong here?
 
Looks like cluster reboot maybe needed for volume to show up.

All nodes were restarted and it worked.
