pvesm manages Proxmox VE storage definitions. It configures storage backends for VM disk images, ISO files, container templates, and backups. Supported storage types include local directories, NFS, CIFS, LVM, ZFS, Ceph, and iSCSI.
Storage configuration is cluster-wide; changes propagate to all nodes. Each storage can be limited to specific content types and made available on selected nodes.
