Adding CephFS Storage via Proxmox Web UI

Since the CLI and API methods are having issues with content types, use the Web UI:

Steps:

1. Open Proxmox Web UI

   • Navigate to: https://192.168.11.11:8006
   • Login with your credentials

2. Add CephFS Storage

   • Go to: Datacenter → Storage → Add → CephFS
   • Fill in the form:
     • ID: ceph-fs
     • FS Name: ceph-fs
     • Monitors: 192.168.11.10:6789,192.168.11.11:6789
     • Username: admin
     • Nodes: Select r630-01
     • Content: Leave default or select available options
   • Click Add

3. Verify Storage

   • After adding, verify in: Datacenter → Storage
   • You should see ceph-fs listed

Important Note:

CephFS may not support VM disk images. If your VMs fail to create with CephFS storage, you may need to:

1. Create RBD storage instead (for VM disk images):

   • Datacenter → Storage → Add → RBD
   • ID: ceph-rbd
   • Pool: rbd
   • Nodes: r630-01

2. Update VM configurations to use ceph-rbd or local-lvm instead of ceph-fs
