New Cluster Install

[nexusguy59]

Hello Everyone,

I have a disk drive that is in one of the hosts it's 4tb and I have completed the following steps:
1 - fdisk -l
2 - cfdisk /dev/sdb1
3 - pvcreate /dev/sdb1
4 - vgcreate CFSTOR /dev/sdb1
5 - vgs
# you should see something similar to below: #
root@ohpro02:~# vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
CFSTOR 1 0 0 wz--n- <3.64t <3.64t
pve 1 3 0 wz--n- <465.26g <16.00g

When I go to Datacenter ->Storage -> Add -> LVM -> Add ID -> Choose Existing volume groups -> Then volume group
The group is not there, I m not sure how to troubleshoot this: Please see attached files.....

by the way the CFSTOR shows up in the command line like example above.

Thanks in advance for the help,

@nexusguy59 Isn't your storage working as a local storage if you create a volume group like that?

Hello eoinkim,

I am not certain what's going on here I searched google on how to share a local storage device to the cluster. The guide I followed told me to do it that way so I did. If you have a better solution I am all ears. I just don't want to waste the space and I don't have any other options.

Thanks for your time and help,
