Question on Proxmox Pools (I'm a bit of a noob)

I've added 2 external USBs of 2TB each to my Proxmox server and created a Resource Pool called USB_HDD containing both. I created an Ubuntu VM, but I can't allocate all 4TB to it in one go - it only allows me to add each one as a separate SCSI device. When I start to install the OS it only allows the install onto one of the 2TB devices. I though the point of pools was to make the actual disks transparent, and present the pool to the VM so it sees it as one lot of space. Am I doing something wrong, or do I have to have it as 2x2TB disks?

  • Sounds like you're passing the physical HDDs to the VM instead of creating a new virtual HDD file in your proxmox pool.

    If you don't mind me asking, what are you trying to do with your VM?
