[SOLVED] Shared Storage for Cluster

[benjaminzhang]

I have been using vmware solution at work for several years and trying to setup a homelab using proxmox.
Currently I have 2 hosts installed as pve cluster, 1 truenas host installed.
What is the best practise setup? I could't find related information in the official documentation.
I tried to add CIFS/NFS share to the cluster, node 1 seems working fine, however node 2 seems to getting timed out.
What am I missing?

The storage needs to be accessible by both nodes.

As a matter of fact, I can manually mount the desired CIFS/NFS share on both nodes and read/write seems fine.
Whenever I tried to add that same storage in the cluster view, the 2nd node would give me the time out.

What type of share CIFS or NFS? And which version?

Never mind, reinstall the problematic node and everything works fine now.
