Disk Management
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
Proxmox Backup Server comes with a set of disk utilities, which are
|
||||||
|
accessed using the ``disk`` subcommand. This subcommand allows you to initialize
|
||||||
|
disks, create various filesystems, and get information about the disks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To view the disks connected to the system, use the ``list`` subcommand of
|
||||||
|
``disk``:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# proxmox-backup-manager disk list
|
||||||

To initialize a disk with a new GPT, use the ``initialize`` subcommand:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# proxmox-backup-manager disk initialize sdX
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can create an ``ext4`` or ``xfs`` filesystem on a disk, using ``fs
|
||||||
|
create``. The following command creates an ``ext4`` filesystem and passes the
|
||||||
|
``--add-datastore`` parameter, in order to automatically create a datastore on
|
||||||
|
the disk (in this case ``sdd``). This will create a datastore at the location
|
||||||
|
``/mnt/datastore/store1``:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# proxmox-backup-manager disk fs create store1 --disk sdd --filesystem ext4 --add-datastore true
|
||||||
|
register worker thread
|
||||||
|
register worker
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
create datastore 'store1' on disk sdd
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also create a ``zpool`` with various raid levels. The command below
|
||||||
|
creates a mirrored ``zpool`` using two disks (``sdb`` & ``sdc``) and mounts it
|
||||||
|
on the root directory (default):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# proxmox-backup-manager disk zpool create zpool1 --devices sdb,sdc --raidlevel mirror
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
create Mirror zpool 'zpool1' on devices 'sdb,sdc'
|
||||||
|
# "zpool" "create" "-o" "ashift=12" "zpool1" "mirror" "sdb" "sdc"

|
||||||
|
unregister worker
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. note::
|
||||||
|
You can also pass the ``--add-datastore`` parameter here, to automatically
|
||||||
|
create a datastore from the disk.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can use ``disk fs list`` and ``disk zpool list`` to keep track of your
|
||||||
|
filesystems and zpools respectively.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If a disk supports S.M.A.R.T. capability, and you have this enabled, you can
|
||||||
|
display S.M.A.R.T. attributes using the command:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# proxmox-backup-manager disk smart-attributes sdX
