I have a three node cluster. Lets called them pve, pve1, pve2

I have a storage in node pve1, to be shared among the cluster (nodes pve,pve1, and pve2) nevertheless in nodes pve and pve2 the storage appears with a question mark and cannot be used. No other message whatsoever. In this case is a SSD drive.

Another ZFS pool (raid1) is defined in node pve2. In node pve and pve1 it appears with a questing mark. In this case I get the following message in nodes pve and pve1.

could not activate storage 'STORE4Z', zfs error: cannot import 'STORE4Z': no such pool available (500).

What am I missing ?

I am on PMX 7.0.8 and i am a licensed user..
 
You cannot share storage through this dialog. It's just for definition purposes, so that the cluster knows which node has access to what.
If there is a question mark that particular node cannot access that storage, in that case a zfs pool that does not exist on that node.
If you want to share storage you have to take care of that yourself, so maybe setup an NFS share, for example.
