[SOLVED] Removed datastore still shows up in webUI and causes problem on VM migrations

[Swappage]

Hello

I think I might have done something wrong in the process of removing an LVM thin datastore that effectively doesn't exist anymore on one of my proxmox nodes but that for some odd reasons still shows up in the web-UI. (see screenshot)




Despite the fact that it doesn't exist anymore, it wouldn't be a big deal if it staid there for nothing, but for some odd reasons it's preventing me from migrating VMs from this node to other nodes (outgoing), while i can still migrate VMs from other nodes to this specific one.

When i try to migrate a VM this is what i receive in the logs



I think somewhere proxmox is still considering this datastore as available, maybe i've left some dirtyness in some configurations.

Can anyone help me out in fixing this issue and completely remove this dead datastore?


thank you very much

It's probably still defined and enabled in Datacenter Storage, in which case Proxmox is right to complain that it is missing. What is the output of pvesm status?

# pvesm status
  Command failed with status code 5.
command '/sbin/vgscan --ignorelockingfailure --mknodes' failed: exit code 5

indeed proxmox still thinks it's there.

how can i remove it?


thank you for your kind reply

EDIT: solved.. maaan it was as easy as removing it from the datacenter storage definitons

I feel so dumb now.

In the Proxmox web GUI, go to Datacenter and then go to Storage and remove data2. This is the same place as where you added it, I assume.

To be honest i added it directly from the node.

your directives solved my problem.



thank you very much.
