Proxmox adding missing LVM thin Pool

When adding another node to the proxmox cluster and the LVM is missing it is not possible to add it correctly over the web interface. But here is how it works.

lsblk
vgcreate pve /dev/sdc
lvcreate -L 30G -n data pve
lvconvert --type thin-pool pve/data

delete the VLM (just in case you need it)

lvchange -an /dev/data/data

esxi enable snmp

How to enable snmapd on your vmware esxi server

replace 10.10.0.0 with your IP-range
esxcli system snmp set --communities public
esxcli system snmp set --enable true
esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id snmp --allowed-all true
esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id snmp --enabled true

esxcli system snmp set --targets=10.10.0.0@161/public

Now you can start the service from the UI
