Trying to add a LVM (New Hard Drive) But not showing up in the LVM Interface.

So I have a small cluster of 3 machines. I have a feeling the Main machine can't see the new drive added to the third machine.

This what I did on machine 3:
cfdisk /dev/sdb
pvcreate /dev/sdb1
vgcreate small-sdd-3 /dev/sdb1

Then I went to Datacenter / Storage and Add: LVM and the Volume Group does not show small-ssd-3.

I tried this pvscan on the main server and does not show the other servers drives. I also tried /etc/init.d/pve-cluster restart on both servers without luck.

I have a feeling main cluster reboot would fix the issue but at this time I can't shutdown / do a full reboot. I mean one the reason to use proxmox and such is to be able create vm's and ct's without the need to reboot and I feel like this might be a over looked and silly bug.


Just to add to this I actually did this entire thing fine on the main (1st) machine without issues at all. So for some reason machine 3 just not sending the new info. So now I can't create a new ct on machine 3 to use the new SSD sadly...

Wow, I feel like a bit of an idiot there. I was going to block the other 2 servers from the Internet and just use the main one to login but I might want to rethink that one. Then again major change like that does not normally happen remotely either.

Thanks that worked.
