[Solved] Unable to creat VM no souch volume group

[r00tr4t]

Hi I'm new to proxmox and I'm trying to create a pfSense vm on thin-provisioned storage.
I get this error.

  Command failed with status code 5.
command '/sbin/vgscan --ignorelockingfailure --mknodes' failed: exit code 5
TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 100 - no such volume group 'pfSense_tp'

What did I do wrong?

You set a non-existing VG for the PVE Storage config entry.. Check out your /etc/pve/storage.cfg, it probably has a entry with a "vgname pfSense_tp" property, fix that to one of the existing VGs, probably the "zeno_vg" one.

You can also use the Webinterface to recreate that storage under DC → Storage with a actually existing VG.

That seems to work.
Thanks and I will mark the thread solved.
