Add PVE LVM Storage

[willifehler]

Hey there,

is it already possible to add a local LVM storage?

pve_storages:
  - name: locallvm
    type: lvm
    content: [ "images", "iso" ]
    vgname: vg01
    path: /dev/sdb

"unexpected property 'path'

Cheers - Willi

path isn't an accepted attribute in Proxmox's API¹. Your YAML looks fine (although indentation seems a bit off) if you remove the path attribute. All this does is configure Proxmox's storage configuration, though. It does not create the actual LVM volume group, which I assume is what you're attempting to do here?

For that you will want to use the community.general.lvg² Ansible module, probably as a pre_task or another play that runs before this Proxmox role.
