    iSCSI with CHAP

    I am trying to get my Proxmox VE 7.3-4 setup with iSCSI and CHAP. (Without CHAP was easy.) I have multiple iSCSI shares with different CHAP username/password combos. I see whispers that this should be possible, but nothing for multiple username/password combos. Any one have any information?

    When it comes to storage, we have been using ZFS over iSCSI in our clusters for years. Now for a couple of new projects, we require S3 compatible storage and I am unsure about the best way to handle this situation. I am tempted to use MinIO, but I've read mixed reviews about it and Ceph seems...

    problems with shared LVM on top of iSCSI after dropping multipath

    Hello. We have a cluster of 7 nodes. VMs and LXCs are stored on external storage, on a shared LVM, via iSCSI. We recently had to move from a 2 x 1Gbps iSCSI multipath connection to a 1 x 10 Gbps FO ethernet (single link iSCSI connection, no multiphating). The iSCSI storage has 4 ethernet ports...

    iSCSI Live Migration Nimble

    Hi Everyone, One of my major clients is considering PVE but I've run into the same snag as earlier this year. The organization has several HPE Nimble SANs and they aren't going away as far as I can tell. HPE Nimble is block storage only, so iSCSI is basically the one and only solution...

    [SOLVED] iscsi direct lun: vm has wrong partition layout

    I am currently setting up iSCSI storage with direct LUNs. However, VM does not detect any partition (the LUNs already have data on them). I experimented and found that if I create a MBR table (rather than GPT) with a single partition, the VM detects the partition but with an invalid size. Host...
