zpool not shown when add storage

[chchang]

I have a pve cluster with 4 nodes. I add some disks in node1 , and create two zfs pool like this
```
root@empmv01:~# zpool status
pool: sp480g
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:

NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
sp480g ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
sda ONLINE 0 0 0
sdb ONLINE 0 0 0

errors: No known data errors

pool: twoterabyte
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:

NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
twoterabyte ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
sdd ONLINE 0 0 0
sde ONLINE 0 0 0

errors: No known data errors
root@empmv01:~#
```

But I cant see these 2 pool when I want to add storage in WEB UI

pools not shown in the dropdown menu

so I try to add zfs following https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_ZFS example section

```
root@empmv01:~# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
sp480g 1.55M 430G 28K /sp480g
sp480g/480g 24K 430G 24K /sp480g/480g
twoterabyte 160K 1.76T 27K /twoterabyte
twoterabyte/2thdd 24K 1.76T 24K /twoterabyte/2thdd
root@empmv01:~#
```

But it`s the same , pool not shown in WEB UI , any suggestion ??

Hi,

are you connected (Webgui) to the node were the zfs pool is?
The lookup works only local and not cluster-wide.

I`am not sure what you mean , I did the add storage via datacenter->storage->add , not in the node.(and you can not do that in specified node , isnt it ?)
and I find something strange , not only zfs , even LVM I create in the node was not shown in the webui either . I can modify the /etc/pve/storage.cfg and mount the LVM POOL , but cant do that with the WEBUI .

You have to connect to the node where you create the zpool.

If node pve0 has the newly created zpool and the IP address of this pool is 192.168.1.2 then you have to use the WebGUI of this IP.
Because the other nodes do not have this zpool.

 

[chchang]

yes , that`s the problem , thanks a lot !
