Virtual Machine Disk

[Mat78]

Hello to everyone,
I'm trying to configure proxmox to use one disk to store the operating system itself and another disk (2 disk in raid 1 mode) to store the virtual machine.

Is it possible?

Can someone help me to configure my server correctly?

Thank you in advance

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.

Should I just mount the "Virtual Machine drive" under VM path?

Can you tell me the VM path?

install proxmox on the first disk.

then create a lvm-storage with your raid1, mount it where ever you want. Create the Storage in Proxmox-Webinterface as a Directory. Then you can put your vms there.

Ok, following this instructions https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#LVM_Groups_with_Local_Backing I've been able to create the lvm-storage and I can store my VM in this disk.

When I run the command "pvcreate /dev/sdc1" the system ask me to wipe the disk. Does this mean that when I install this disk into another proxmox server I will loose my virtual machine?
