Hiden Storage Local dan Local-Lvm

In this post, I’ll share a simple way to hide Local and Local-LVM storage in Proxmox.

Image description

This is mainly done to make storage management easier, especially in Proxmox clusters or Ceph clustering environments. Ok, to hide it, we need to make some configuration

First, modify the storage.cfg file

nano /etc/pve/storage.cfg
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then, find the following lines

dir: local
        path /var/lib/vz
        content iso,vztmpl,backup

lvmthin: local-lvm
        thinpool data
        vgname pve
        content rootdir,images

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next, add the following syntax at the bottom of each storage configuration

disable 1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So it will look like this

dir: local
        path /var/lib/vz
        content iso,vztmpl,backup
+       disable 1

lvmthin: local-lvm
        thinpool data
        vgname pve
        content rootdir,images
+       disable 1

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Once done, save and exit.

Now, restart pvestatd to apply the configuration

systemctl restart pvestatd
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Try refreshing your Proxmox Web UI.

The storage should now be hidden. Good luck! Hope this helps
