Storage unavailable on other nodes in a cluster

[davidand]

We have a 2-node Proxmox cluster a 3TB hard drive storage attached to node 1):



It also shows up on node 2), however it's status is 'unavailabe' and I can't use it in any of the VMs:







Am I supposed to be able to use this storage?

Hello,


Please post your storage config cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

Hi @Moayad, sorry for the late answer, posting below:

1) node1 (where the storage is located):

$ cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
dir: local
    path /var/lib/vz
    content iso,vztmpl,backup

lvmthin: local-lvm
    thinpool data
    vgname pve
    content images,rootdir

lvm: wd3tb
    vgname wd3tb
    content images,rootdir
    shared 0

2) node2 (where I'd like to use the storage in a VM):

$ cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
dir: local
    path /var/lib/vz
    content iso,vztmpl,backup

lvmthin: local-lvm
    thinpool data
    vgname pve
    content images,rootdir

lvm: wd3tb
    vgname wd3tb
    content images,rootdir
    shared 0

No problem

Could you please post output of pvesm status from the two nodes?

 

[davidand]

Hi @Moayad, sure:

1) node 1
