ProxMox 4.3 installed on empty 1TB HDD with 120GB LVM
While creating new CT thereis only 'local' storage.

In system GUI everething is good with local-lvm:
Enabled: YES
Active: YES
Type: LVM-Thin
Content: Disk image, Container
Free Space: 71 G

Hi
Did you add it to Datacenter -> Storage as LVM?
What I normally do is to mount LVM to some directory in linux fs like /srv for example and then in Datacenter -> Storage I add new Directory where directory is a location where I have mounted LVM.
You can setup LVM in GUI as well but as far as I remember you will have to use RAW disk drives for VM's only (not 100% sure here)

I installed ProxMox 4.3 from a box. So i have brand new VM with all deafaults.
I cant create any VM in local-lvm storage. It is not in storage list
Problem only with lvm-thin storage.

In Datacenter -> Storage there are two correct records:
ID Type Content Path Enabled
local Directory Container, DImage, ISO /var/lib/vz Yes
local-lvm lvm-thin Container, DImage none Yes

So screens....

you have to download a template first. as you need a file based storage for this, you have to download the template to "local" storage.

then you can create your first container (using this local template ) and deploy it to lvm-thin.
