Hi,
I'm very new to Proxmox!
I have a Rise-2 dedicated machine from OVH ( https://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/rise/rise-2/ ) which comes with 2*480GB SSD's
I installed Proxmox VE6 via OVH's OS templates but I'm a bit confused about how their template has configured the disks.

When I login to Proxmox and go to disks I see

Under LVM I have

I was originally following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzenuPIOgJk but my disk config via OVH is quite different (i.e. I don't have anywhere to put OS/ISO templates - https://i.imgur.com/WwH9sli.png and I'm a little bit lost!

Should I be using the pre-defined OVH Proxmox config or should I install myself?
I'm hoping to get Proxmox up and running on a single dedicated to machine to spin up a few VM's for some web apps I currently host on DO/Vultr.

Thanks!
 
Hey @matrix - thanks for the reply!

Do i need a separate partition for this storage directory? Right now when I try to create a directory I see this
trying this: https://i.imgur.com/qA8ZAPd.png
i get this: https://i.imgur.com/JEWeN0Z.png

which I guess makes sense as the path I'm entering doesn't yet exist (i wasn't sure if the path needed to exist or if Proxmox was actually creating it).

Can I store ISO's in the existing directory that the OVH Proxmox install created?

Thanks.
