Proxmox clusters and ZFS pools

Hello

I have setup 4 identical Proxmox servers

They are all running the latest 3.4 Proxmox versions installed on a 64 gb ssd boot drive
They all have 2x 4Tb Sata drives currently setup as a local 8Tb ZFS pool

When the nodes are not clustered, I can see all the local ZFS pool on each node in the web control page

If I try to cluster 2 nodes together by doing

pvecm create teccluster on node one (pve01)
pvecm add pve01 on node two (pve02)

I ended up with a two node cluster that seems ok. pvecm status gives the folllowing

root@pve02:/etc# pvecm status
Version: 6.2.0
Config Version: 2
Cluster Name: teccluster
Cluster Id: 45748
Cluster Member: Yes
Cluster Generation: 8
Membership state: Cluster-Member
Nodes: 2
Expected votes: 2
Total votes: 2
Node votes: 1
Quorum: 2
Active subsystems: 5
Flags:
Ports Bound: 0
Node name: pve02
Node ID: 2
Multicast addresses: 239.192.178.103
Node addresses: 172.16.0.6

But now the web interface shows ZFS pool01 on pve01 available in the datacenter
But ZFS pool02 created on node 2 (pve02) is not visible

I am aware that I am missing some basic info here, can anyone help steer me in the right direction.

Ideally I would like to be able to pool all drives in the cluster into a huge global pool with software mirroring

Regards
 
Also ZFS pool01 is only available to the node were it resides (pve01). This I can understand but I do not understand where ZFS pool02 went. It is not visible on pve02 node ??
 
Can you send your storage config?
