[SOLVED] New HDD doesn't show up in GUI or CLI

[voarsh]

I ran:
lvs
vgs but the new disk doesn't show


HP ILO shows the disk as OK and of course, detected.

Do I need to reboot after installing a drive in a bay?

hi,

do you see it when you run lsblk?

Hi.
It doesn't show up (600GB):

Do you recommend a restart? Not sure what to do after restarting...

wouldn't hurt to do. check lsblk again after the reboot to see if it shows up.

Assuming (for some unknown reason) that it doesn't show up..... what else can I do?
HP ILO DOES show the disk as fine, lights spinning as well....

I can't restart right now, I'll have to plan it.

you can check dmesg and /var/log/syslog for any relevant clues if it's still not recognized

Thanks!

I needed to reboot and configure the RAID. My mistake.
Marked as resolved.

I take that back.
It shows:

But not in the GUI

 

[oguz]

where are you looking on the GUI?

if you want the disk to be shown on the GUI you'll need to add/create a storage on it.

if the disk is empty you can do this at Node -> Disks

if it's already used then you can simply add a directory storage on the mount path (disk needs to be mounted)

 

[voarsh]

Shows as a disk, but I cannot seem to use it?




Nor directory.


Judging by this, I'd say it is formatted:



I can't seem to use it for storage of VM/LXC disks, etc.

if you want to create a new lvm on the disk you need to zap it first (this will wipe all data!)

sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sdb

afterwards you should be able to select it in the creation wizard. if it doesn't show up try restarting pveproxy and pvedaemon services

I've never quite understood LVM and LVM thinpool.

With the disk showing up, I wish to use it for disks, ISO's, backups, etc.
Instead of adding it to LVM-thin/LVM, is mounting and making a directory the better approach?

Hi !

I am also facing same issue for new proxmox server having 2 Discs 1T and SSD and 2TB HDD , However only see 1 in GUI but lslb showing 2 drives
root@p8200prox:~# lsblk

sda 8:0 0 953.9G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 1007K 0 part

I read the post reponses and ran command sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sdb but seeing the below out put :
root@p8200prox:~# sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sdb
Warning: Partition table header claims that the size of partition table
entries is 0 bytes, but this program supports only 128-byte entries.
Adjusting accordingly, but partition table may be garbage.

Caution! After loading partitions, the CRC doesn't check out!
Warning: Invalid CRC on main header data; loaded backup partition table.
Warning! Main and backup partition tables differ! Use the 'c' and 'e' options

Not sure about it - any help and guidance appreciated thanks
