diaz Hi diaz,
Thanks for the lshw output — I can see your two ADATA NVMe SSDs are detected correctly ( /dev/nvme0n1 is your Proxmox system disk, /dev/nvme1n1 should be the second one).
My previous instructions skipped a step — sorry about that! The “Add: ZFS” screen in the PVE Web UI only selects an existing ZFS pool; we need to create the pool first. Here’s the corrected procedure:
Option 1 (Recommended) — Create ZFS pool via the Web UI
Log in to PVE Web (https:// <your-EQR7-IP> :8006)>2. Click your node (e.g. pve2 ) in the left tree>3. Go to Disks → ZFS → click Create: ZFS>4. Name: e.g. datapool >5. RAID type:
Mirror → 512GB total (data safe, 1 disk can fail) - Stripe → 1TB total (max speed, but 1 disk fail = data loss)
Check both SSDs under “Disk selection” (they will show as /dev/nvme0n1 and /dev/nvme1n1 — Proxmox will wipe the second one, that’s normal)
Click Create>8. Now go to Datacenter → Storage → Add → ZFS — your new datapool will appear in the dropdown
Set Content to Disk image, Container (or whatever you need) → Add
Option 2 — Command line (faster)
SSH into your EQR7, then:
Confirm the second disk first
lsblk
Should show nvme0n1 (system) and nvme1n1 (free)
Mirror (512GB, safe):
zpool create -f datapool mirror /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme1n1
OR Stripe (1TB, fast but risky):
zpool create -f datapool /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme1n1
Then go back to Web UI → Datacenter → Storage → Add → ZFS → select datapool
⚠ **Warning**: This will **erase the second SSD**. Make sure Proxmox is installed on `nvme0n1` and the second disk is empty.

**Heads-up about node name `pve2`**: If this is a single EQR7 (not a cluster), the default hostname should be `pve`. If you see `pve2`, you may have renamed it during install — that's fine, just use whichever name you see in your left sidebar.
Let me know which option you try and what you see. Send a screenshot of **Node → Disks → ZFS** if you get stuck.
