I was getting a similar error when trying to delete storage.  I don't 
remember the exact circumstances, but I believe I was running LVM 
storage on top of iSCSI.  I tried running that command on the command 
line.  It worked fine on the cluster master but failed with code 5 on 
another node.  It turned out that I did not have iSCSI setup properly on 
that node.  So that node did not have access to the LVM group.

If you run pvdisplay and vgdisplay on the related PVE server(s), is your 
volume group listed?
