Just installed ProxMox on a new server.
The server has two NVMe drives that I software raided as RAID 1.

I used the default Hetzner partion in the installimage script in Rescuce System.

I have ended up with this:
Code:
root@host ~ #  fdisk -l

Am I right in saying that PVE wants it's own partition and the VMs/ISO storage needs to be in it's own?

Right now when I try to create a VM it says there is only 14GB of storage on "local". Guessing it is using the "Disk /dev/mapper/vg0-root: 15 GiB" for storage?
What did I mess up?

Thanks
Jack

At "Datacenter -> Storage" you can check and set what storage is used for what type of content. You can only put VMs on a store that has "disk image" as "content" type.
 
Okay so it can store everything in its current form but there is only 14GB of space.

For some reason the install script is not creating the rest of the storage space as a partition from the looks of it.
Code:
root@113 /home # df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                   32G     0   32G   0% /dev
tmpfs                 6.3G  443M  5.9G   7% /run
/dev/mapper/vg0-root   15G   15G     0 100% /
tmpfs                  32G   37M   32G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                 5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs                  32G     0   32G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/md0              487M  110M  352M  24% /boot
/dev/fuse              30M   16K   30M   1% /etc/pve
tmpfs                 6.3G     0  6.3G   0% /run/user/0


This is the default partitioning from Hetzner.

Looks like your LVM got a big VG but your LVs of the VG only use 4% of the space available. Did you tried to create some new LVs to make the space usable? Make sure some space will be left unused because LVM uses the free space for snapshotting.

Look for example here on how create LVs.

I reinstalled and set LV vg0 root / ext3 to 250GB and can install stuff now. Does say in one of the tabs "93% used" but was able to install a VM.
Now I just got to get extra IPs working and that is what I am stuck on now >.<
