Unable to add data store from MSA to HPe VME cluster

[SatishKrCI]

Dear Experts,

We are setting new HPE VME cluster and unable to add data store from MSA 2060 over FC. The LUN is visible on host level but while trying to add same we have no cloud to select (nothing shows in same but cluster is created) as shown below. Similarly block device list dont have anything. Can someone guide what can be wrong. We are on latest version v8.0.9

Thanks in advance.

Does it still not appear after refreshing the cluster?

Instead of Infrastructure > Storage, if you select the target HVM cluster from Infrastructure > Clusters, you'll find “Storage” there. Can't you do it from there?

Thanks for the reply. We tried from there and option is coming but when we click on save nothing is happening as shown below. FYI, we are doing with only 2 nodes as of now, will that can be the reason?

Its a real strugle for a basic thing. The documentation is also not very clear. Way to go. Please advise accordingly.

You require a minimum of 3 nodes for GFS2.  This isn't an HPE or VME limitation, but rather a GFS2 limitation in all distributions.
