Storage Management Skill

Manage and optimize storage in your Proxmox environment.

What this skill does

This skill enables you to:

• •List all storage devices in the cluster
• •Get storage device details and capacity
• •Monitor storage usage and utilization
• •Track storage allocation per VM/container
• •Analyze storage performance
• •Plan storage expansion
• •Manage storage pools
• •Monitor storage health
• •Identify storage bottlenecks
• •Generate storage reports

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• •Check available storage capacity
• •Monitor storage utilization
• •Plan storage expansion
• •Analyze storage performance
• •Troubleshoot storage issues
• •Allocate storage to VMs/containers
• •Monitor storage device health
• •Generate capacity planning reports
• •Optimize storage allocation

Available Tools

• •get_storage - Get all storage devices in the cluster
• •get_node_storage - Get storage devices for a specific node

Typical Workflows

Storage Capacity Planning

1. •Use get_storage to view all storage devices
2. •Use get_node_storage for node-specific analysis
3. •Analyze current usage and growth trends
4. •Plan storage expansion or upgrades
5. •Generate capacity report

Storage Monitoring

1. •Use get_storage to view overall utilization
2. •Use get_node_storage for detailed per-node analysis
3. •Monitor critical thresholds
4. •Track usage trends over time
5. •Alert on capacity issues

Storage Optimization

1. •Use get_storage to identify underutilized storage
2. •Use get_node_storage to analyze node-level usage
3. •Rebalance storage allocation
4. •Archive or consolidate data
5. •Optimize storage pool configuration

Storage Troubleshooting

1. •Use get_storage to verify device availability
2. •Use get_node_storage to diagnose node-specific issues
3. •Check for I/O errors or performance degradation
4. •Verify RAID status and redundancy
5. •Analyze performance metrics

Example Questions

• •"Show me all storage devices and their capacity"
• •"What's the storage usage per node?"
• •"Which storage devices are near capacity?"
• •"How much free space do we have across all storage?"
• •"Get storage capacity and planning report"
• •"Are there any storage performance issues?"
• •"Show storage allocation across the cluster"

Response Format

When using this skill, I provide:

• •Storage device listings with capacity/usage
• •Per-node storage analysis
• •Utilization percentages and trends
• •Available capacity summary
• •Bottleneck identification
• •Expansion recommendations

Best Practices

• •Monitor storage capacity regularly
• •Maintain 20-30% free space for performance
• •Plan storage expansion proactively
• •Implement redundancy for critical storage
• •Monitor RAID health and status
• •Use appropriate storage tiers for workload types
• •Implement data archival policies
• •Monitor I/O performance and latency
• •Document storage configuration
• •Test disaster recovery procedures
• •Plan for future growth
• •Use snapshots for backup and recovery
