LVM Question

[intelligentforu]

Hello Support,

I'm new to ProxMox.

I have 4 SATA drives totaling 1.2TB.

It states it automatically creates Volume on these devices, but I do not see this.

Do I have to create a LVM via command line?

Thank you for your help
Noel

you have a hardware raid controller? if yes, configure a Raid10 via the controller bios.
so the raid card presents one big volume to the Proxmox Installer and the partitioning is done automatically.

after installation, reboot and just type lvs, should give something similar like this:

lvs

  LV            VG          Attr   LSize  Origin Snap%  Move Log Copy%  Convert
  data          pve         -wi-ao 97.00G
  root          pve         -wi-ao 37.50G
  swap          pve         -wi-ao 11.00G

showing the volume group PVE with 3 logical volumes: data, root and swap.

Thanks Tom,

I had to do things differently.

1) No hardware RAID controller

2) used fdisk /dev/sd(b-d) n p 1 t 8e w

3) used pvcreate /dev/sd(b-d)

4) used vgdisplay found pve

5) used vgextend pve /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd

6) used web console and add LVM and called it main

It appears to be good to go!

Thanks,
Noel
