# Manage Proxmox Storage Capacity

Proxmox storage can become hard to track across nodes, pools, and workloads. This skill helps Claude, Codex, and Claude Code review storage capacity, utilization, and expansion needs.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add dataknifeai/storage-management
```

## Capabilities

- List storage devices across a Proxmox cluster.
- Get storage devices for a specific Proxmox node.
- Summarize capacity, free space, and utilization patterns.
- Support storage expansion and upgrade planning.
- Help identify storage bottlenecks and health concerns.

## Use Cases

- Plan Cluster Storage Growth: Review storage usage and free capacity before adding workloads or buying new disks.
- Monitor Node Storage Pressure: Compare node-level storage usage to find capacity risks before they affect virtual machines.
- Prepare Storage Status Reports: Create clear summaries of storage capacity, utilization, bottlenecks, and expansion needs.

## Prompt Templates

### Show Cluster Capacity

```
Use the storage-management skill to show all Proxmox storage devices, total capacity, used space, and free space.
```

### Check One Node

```
Use the storage-management skill to review storage devices on the selected node and summarize utilization risks.
```

### Find Capacity Risks

```
Use the storage-management skill to identify storage devices near capacity and recommend practical next actions.
```

### Build Expansion Plan

```
Use the storage-management skill to compare cluster storage usage, estimate growth pressure, and prepare an expansion plan.
```

## Limitations

- Requires connected Proxmox tooling that provides storage data.
- Does not create or delete storage resources by itself.
- Does not replace backup, RAID, or disaster recovery testing.
- Recommendations depend on the quality of available metrics.

## Best Practices

- Keep 20 to 30 percent free space for performance and maintenance.
- Review node-level storage before placing large new workloads.
- Validate redundancy, backups, and recovery processes outside this skill.

## Anti Patterns

- Waiting until storage is almost full before planning expansion.
- Moving workloads without checking node-specific storage pressure.
- Treating capacity reports as a replacement for tested backups.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-06T09:12:44.108\+00:00
- Summary: The static analyzer flagged ten apparent command-execution patterns in SKILL.md. Each hit is Markdown inline code that names documented storage tools, not executable shell or Ruby code. No evidence found for prompt injection, data exfiltration, network abuse, or hidden executable behavior.
