Trying to use another disk on my harvester node but can't seem to find the drop down in the longhorn UI. harvester 1.1/longhorn 1.3.2 from the longhorn docs, "To add a new disk for a node, head to the

Node

tab, select one of the nodes, and select

Edit Disks

in the dropdown menu." any ideas... command line or gui is fine.

Since this appears to be a Harvester deployment, any reason why you are using the underlying Longhorn to add the disk as opposed to using the Harvester UI: Harvester -> Hosts -> (select the host with the new disk) -> Edit Config -> Disks Scroll to the bottom and select the "Add Disks" button. A drop-down menu of available disks that can be added shows up. Select your new disk, check the format button if required, and save the changes. I am still on Harvester 1.0.3 (waiting on 1.1.1 to drop for storage network and tiering), but this method has worked for me.

I have done that. I took the chance and force-formatted it. and it appears as this:

Nice! Also, good to see a screenshot of the Disk Tags section for 1.1.0.

I then went to advanced -> storage classes and I see two storage classes (longhorn and longhorn-harvester but their properties show NOTHING for the parameters and when i try to create a new storage class, it's parameters show nothing as as well:

And, I ran into the same force-format message on my cluster. In my case, 8 drives in a Dell R740XD that had been previously used as a Hadoop cluster. I had to manually format the drives to get Harvester to see them, and they showed up as force-formatted. Harvester used them just fine after that.

any engagement from the community is helpful. I really want to see this vmware killing HCI and in my mind, SUSE competitor to RedHat OpenShift, really take off. They are /almost/ there. The concepts are sound. Thanks for reaching out, I really appreciate it.

Ditto! Been having a blast in our lab playing with Harvester and the Rancher integrations. We are a VMWare shop for enterprise workloads and OpenStack for research workloads (this is a higher-ed institution). The integrations that Suse has on the roadmap for Harvester play nicely into our goals of being able to move VMs between stacks depending on cost/uptime, and getting an alternative to VMWare in case the acquisition that they are undergoing goes south.

I'm a VCP and stopped doing vmware consulting right around the Tanzu timeframe. Their (vmware) virtual desktops with GPU off load is nice for education, I have done two, one for a college and one for a university here in Canada. It remains to be seen if Broadcom manages to kill vmware with their acquisition 😉

Sorry for the late reply, for the very first issue/screenshot, you can find a horizontal scroll bar on the Longhorn UI page. After scrolling right, you will set the button. As for the empty Parameter issue, it maybe a UI bug. You may need to create StorageClass with YAML…
