✅ Verification

r630-01

ssh root@192.168.11.11
pvesm status local-lvm
# Should show: active, 200GB available

r630-02

ssh root@192.168.11.12
pvesm status thin1
# Should show: active, 113GB available, 52.35% used

📝 Notes

1. r630-01 local-lvm:

   • Uses the pve/data thin pool
   • Standard storage name for easier migrations
   • Fully available (200GB)

2. r630-02 thin1:

   • Uses the thin1/thin1 thin pool
   • Contains existing VMs (52% used)
   • Still has 113GB available for new VMs

3. Backups Created:

   • Storage configuration files backed up before changes
   • Backup files: /etc/pve/storage.cfg.backup.*

---

🎯 Next Steps

Ready for Use

• ✅ Both storage pools are active and ready
• ✅ Can create new VMs on either storage
• ✅ Can migrate VMs to these storage pools

Recommendations

1. Use local-lvm on r630-01 for standard storage naming
2. Use thin1 on r630-02 for additional capacity (113GB available)
3. Monitor storage usage on thin1 (already 52% used)
