Need some help Noob, Issue with LVMs not being found. Disks inactive

[viperbmw69]

I have an issue with the server not seeing the LVMs on the two inactive drives. I have made no changes to those drives, But I did add some different HDD drives. I have looked on the Forum but I am not finding anything that matches my issue.

Hi @viperbmw69 , welcome to the forum.

This is not a Proxmox issue, but generic Linux/LVM management query. The terms to search for: lvm volume active
i.e. https://docs.redhat.com/en/document...tion-configuring-and-managing-logical-volumes

You should use direct LVM commands to examine and understand your environment:
lsblk
pvs
vgs
lvs
pvdisplay [options]
vgdisplay [options]
etc

Good luck
