Hi,
I'm not familiar with Proxmox, as I've only done work with bare virsh/libvirt, virt-manager, qemu, etc. on vanilla Linux distros, but I thought I'd give it a shot for a client since Proxmox has a lot of nice features out of the box, and I consider Linux the Grand Poobah of software defined storage. Unfortunately, I'm finding it a little harder to navigate having never had any experience with it before.
The client would like to have a span (or JBOD) of several hard drives for these security recordings. That sounded like a great case for a logical volume to me, so I created a span of 4 SAS drives using pg + lv . In libvirt, I'd simply add the vg dev, e.g /dev/mapper/vg_sas or whatever, as a device for the vm, but I'm not sure how to do that in Proxmox.
I've got a clone of the physical machine they're currently using and have imported a qcow2 for it into a diskless vm using qm importdisk command. Now I'm stuck on how to attach a device from the host, namely my CLI-created vg, as a disk to the vm.
Can anyone help me figure out how to do this? I am surprised at how much different Proxmox has been from libvirt. I'm not opposed to it, I just wish I knew how to achieve the things I need to do more easily. I don't see anything about it in the Proxmox documentation, only passing through single disks - unfortunately any search regarding lvm immediately brings up oodles of results on datastores, making it hard to find what I'm looking for.
Thanks
