NFS Storage Creation

[Sivakumar]

Hello,

there are 2 request.

Request 1- I have around 15 standalone host in the Proxmox cluster. when I try to add the additional host to cluster as 16th Host, where all my existing 15 hosts are become unavailable. So I removed the cluster service ( including quorum) and managing each host as a separate GUI at this moment. what could be the reason ?

Request 2 - When I manage the proxmox host separately without cluster. How do we add the existing NFS storage to specific proxmox host (without using the datacenster) ?
complete steps would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Regards
SK

Hi!

Ad 1) Do you have more detailed information about your breaking cluster? Starting with

pveversion -v
pvecm status

Unavailable meaning running but looking shut down for Proxmox VE?

Ad 2) Storages for Proxmox VE are always created on the datacenter level. For single nodes this works fine too. What you can do is setting the nodes property for a setting:

List of cluster node names where this storage is usable/accessible. One can use this property to restrict storage access to a limited set of nodes.

Is this a sufficient alternative for you?

Unavailabe means, VMs are runnung. but not able to manage cluster host all togather in GUI under Datacenter. we are separately accessing the each host and doing all admin task.

Ad 2: pvecm status ( we stopped the cluster service, I mean removed the cluster service ) because of the issue.

root@ERLDPRX009:~# pvecm status
Error: Corosync config '/etc/pve/corosync.conf' does not exist - is this node part of a cluster?
