250GB SSDs Status - Visible and Ready

Date: 2025-12-13
Status: ✅ ALL 6 DRIVES VISIBLE AND READY


Current Status

✅ All 6x 250GB SSDs Detected

Drive Size Model Partition Status
sdc 232.9G CT250MX500SSD1 sdc1 (232.9G) ✅ Ready
sdd 232.9G CT250MX500SSD1 sdd1 (232.9G) ✅ Ready
sde 232.9G CT250MX500SSD1 sde1 (232.9G) ✅ Ready
sdf 232.9G CT250MX500SSD1 sdf1 (232.9G) ✅ Ready
sdg 232.9G CT250MX500SSD1 sdg1 (232.9G) ✅ Ready
sdh 232.9G CT250MX500SSD1 sdh1 (232.9G) ✅ Ready

Key Observations

  • ✅ All drives visible to the system
  • ✅ Partitions created (sdc1, sdd1, etc.)
  • ✅ No filesystem (FSTYPE empty) - clean and ready
  • ✅ Not mounted - available for use
  • ✅ Proxmox can see them - ready for storage configuration

Proxmox Storage Status

Current storage pools:

  • ceph-fs: inactive (mount error - needs fixing)
  • ceph-rbd: inactive
  • local: active (81.5 GB)
  • local-lvm: active (179.6 GB)

Next Steps

Use these drives for Ceph OSDs to fix the TOO_FEW_OSDS error:

# Remove partitions first (Ceph needs raw devices)
for drive in sdc sdd sde sdf sdg sdh; do
    wipefs -a /dev/$drive
    ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/$drive
done

Option 2: Add as Proxmox Storage

Add them as Directory or LVM storage in Proxmox:

  1. Via Web UI: Datacenter > Storage > Add
  2. Via CLI: Use pvesm commands

Option 3: Use for Ceph OSD (One at a Time)

Start with one drive to fix the immediate issue:

# Use sdc for third OSD
wipefs -a /dev/sdc
ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/sdc

# Verify
ceph osd tree
ceph health

Summary

Current State

  • ✅ 6x 250GB SSDs formatted and visible
  • ✅ Partitions created (ready for use)
  • ✅ No filesystem (clean slate)
  • ✅ Proxmox can see them

Ready For

  • ✅ Ceph OSD creation
  • ✅ Proxmox storage configuration
  • ✅ Any storage use case

Next Action

Choose how to use the drives:

  1. Ceph OSDs (fixes TOO_FEW_OSDS error)
  2. Proxmox storage (for VMs)
  3. Both (some for Ceph, some for storage)
