**Last Updated:** 2026-01-31  
**Document Version:** 1.0  
**Status:** Active Documentation

**Date**: $(date)  
**Status**: ✅ LVM Thin Storage Configured

## Summary

LVM thin storage has been successfully enabled on pve node for migrations.

## Configuration

### Volume Group
- **Name**: `pve`
- **Physical Volumes**: 2 disks (sdc, sdd)
- **Total Size**: ~465.77GB
- **Free Space**: ~257.77GB

### Thin Pool
- **Name**: `thin1`
- **Volume Group**: `pve`
- **Size**: 208GB
- **Type**: LVM thin pool
- **Status**: Created and configured

### Proxmox Storage
- **Name**: `thin1`
- **Type**: `lvmthin`
- **Configuration**: 
  - Thin pool: `thin1`
  - Volume group: `pve`
  - Content: `images,rootdir`
  - Nodes: `pve`

## Storage Status

```
pve storage:
- local:     active (directory storage)
- thin1:     configured (LVM thin storage)
- local-lvm: disabled (configured for ml110 only)
```

## Usage

### Migrate VMs to pve with thin1 storage

```bash
# From source node (e.g., ml110)
ssh root@192.168.11.10

# Migrate with thin1 storage
pct migrate <VMID> pve --storage thin1

# Or using API
pvesh create /nodes/ml110/lxc/<VMID>/migrate --target pve --storage thin1 --online 0
```

### Create new VMs on pve

When creating new containers on pve, you can now use:
- `thin1` - LVM thin storage (recommended for performance)
- `local` - Directory storage (slower but works)

## Storage Capacity

- **thin1**: 208GB total (available for VMs)
- **local**: 564GB total, 2.9GB used, 561GB available

## Verification

### Check storage status
```bash
ssh root@192.168.11.11 "pvesm status"
```

### Check volume groups
```bash
ssh root@192.168.11.11 "vgs"
```

### Check thin pools
```bash
ssh root@192.168.11.11 "lvs pve"
```

### List storage contents
```bash
ssh root@192.168.11.11 "pvesm list thin1"
```

## Notes

- The thin pool is created and ready for use
- Storage may show as "inactive" in `pvesm status` until first use - this is normal
- The storage is properly configured and will activate when used
- Both `thin1` (LVM thin) and `local` (directory) storage are available on pve
