PVE5 Adding additional storage

[nz_liam]

Hi,

I have a new install of PVE5, with two drives sda 1.2TB SSD and sdb 240GB SSD, (both RAID1 SSD).

I'm using sdb for boot, (it's the first drive in the system but for some reason it got allocated sdb instead of sda).

I want to setup sda for vm storage, and I believe I want to setup lvm thin.

I followed the instructions at;

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(LVM)#_create_a_lvm_thin_pool

Specifically;

root@gennz-qs220-pve1:~# sgdisk -N 1 /dev/sda
The operation has completed successfully.
root@gennz-qs220-pve1:~# pvcreate --metadatasize 250k -y -ff /dev/sda1
  Physical volume "/dev/sda1" successfully created.
root@gennz-qs220-pve1:~# vgcreate vmdata /dev/sda1
  Volume group "vmdata" successfully created
root@gennz-qs220-pve1:~# lvcreate -L 1000G -T -n vmstore vmdata
  Using default stripesize 64.00 KiB.
  Logical volume "vmstore" created.

However I'm kinda lost as to what to do now, to get this storage to appear in the webui?

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

Liam

Goto Datacenter/Storage and press Add/LVM-thin ..
