Hi,
I got a little confused about which would be the correct way to set up the storage and wanted to ask for the proper way to do it.
Situation: Cluster with (currently) 2 active nodes, no HA. both have temporary local raid1 devices for VM storage.
How do I correctly add these two storage devices to proxmox? This is the part of the storage.cfg
Now as you can see both have the same mount point on their respective node because otherwise it would be impossible to migrate between the two nodes (since the VE_ROOT path in the ct config remains unchanged)
However, if I now add a container to ox1 and select RAIDOX1 as storage, the CT is created just fine. BUT afterwards under Options, proxmox reports Storage: RAID1, which leads me to believe that this "Storage" value is created in reverse by looking at the VE_ROOT path in the ct config? The result is that I cant start the new CT (which created just fine) because proxmox correctly reports that the storage "RAID1" is not available on ox1.
Whats the correct approach here?
I guess I could technically set both storages to be available on both nodes, but that could lead to confusion and might possibly be unsafe too...?
