[SOLVED] zfs-local Does Not Exist

[comsono]

Newbie here, really impressed with Proxmox so far.

I have been using Proxmox for a few days, and so far everything is going really well. I have three nodes in my cluster, and can move workloads around amongst them and so forth. The first two that I setup were using defaults, so there is local-lvm on both. I want to setup a replication schedule, and can't do that without ZFS, so set the third up with ZFS. In the storage section of this one, I don't see local-lvm (makes sense...) but I also don't see local-zfs.

I had thought I could just migrate the VMs from the other two nodes to this machine's local-zfs, then rebuild the first two nodes to boot ZFS. What am I missing? How do I force the creation of local-zfs on my third node?

Just to complete the picture, yes I also have iSCSI shared storage, but I want the VMs to all boot off the local SSD in each host.

Looks like I figured this out. Apparently, I just didn't RTFM enough. A cluster normally would only have one kind of local storage, so I had to tweak the storage.cfg a bit to restrict the local-lvm to only be on nodes that had lvm, and local-zfs to be on the node that had zfs. This post pushed me in the right direction. Hope this helps someone else.
