Hi,

I'm new to proxmox. I installed the latest version of proxmox: 3.4-1.
I'm trying to install the second hard drive.
The second hard drive is for storage of the VM's and CT's.

Can anybody give pointers or guides on how to setup this?

Hardware: Lenovo ThinkServer TS140
spec: First hard drive: 64GB SSD ADATA
Sec hard drive: 1TB WD BLACK
Mem: 32GB
NIC: 1GB
 
Hi,
depends on your setup.

You can do many different things. One way ist to create an lvm-storage on this disk (like volumegroup pvesata), and use the VG for VM-images (kvm) and an second LV with ext4 filesystem for CTs.
Or create an filesystem (ext4) only and use this space for CTs + VM-disks (then you can use qcow2-format).

If you use the search function, you will find a lot threads about second disks ;.)
