Proxmox - from separate nodes to cluster

[krikey]

I had two separate nodes, node1 and node2. They each had their own storage which out of the box was "local" and "local-lvm" on both.

Once I joined both nodes in a cluster these storage devices are displayed under both nodes, fair enough, however, under the datacentre->storage panel, "local" and "local-lvm" is only shown once not twice for each storage on each node.

If I disable a storage under datacentre->storage, it disables on both nodes and I have no way of determining which storage im managing.

Should I rename these storages to something unique if I want separate storage one each node, and if so, how do I do that?

storage definitions are always cluster wide (the idea is that the storage configuration is similar on all nodes)
so this does not hurt, each node still has its own storage just under the same definition

you can create a new storage and restrict it to a node (in the 'add storage' window you can enter nodes on the top right)
and you can restrict the old storage also to a node

but if the underlying storage type is the same on both nodes, there is really no reason to do that
(in fact, having the same definition on both nodes allows you to migrate very easily via the gui)
