Hi,

Please excuse my stupidity, i have a networking/carriage/transmission background and i am dipping my toes into the DC/virtualisation space.

I'm having an issue where a have a physical raid array in a c220 server and Proxmox can see the storage at the Data Centre level but it is unable to use it.

Is it because i haven't formatted the logical drive that it presents to PVE? is it just a matter of formatting the drive in ext4 through the console command line?

Cheers,

DB
 
Hi,
if the controller and the LUN are detected correctly you should see the LUN at node level under the menu point "Disks".
If it is there and not in use you can go to the submenu "Directory" and create an ext4 formatted storage.
