Hi all,
I have been testing out Proxmox on our lab setup which is 3 older Dell machines all equipped with 4 NICs and a Dell MD3200i iscsi SAN. For now I am only working on one machine.
The modules and configuration is done according to the iscsi multipath documentation.
Proxmox can see the san and multipath -ll shows:

# multipath -ll
mpatha (36782bcb00030f9e2000051735e6433ee) dm-5 DELL,MD32xxi
size=11T features='3 queue_if_no_path pg_init_retries 50' hwhandler='1 rdac' wp=rw

`-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=9 status=enabled
|- 9:0:0:0 sdf 8:80 active ready running
`- 6:0:0:0 sde 8:64 active ready running

It seems like the device is also presented to Proxmox

However when I try to create a LVM on top of the iscsi the 'Base volume' field is empty (See screenshot 22), like no LUN is available. Also looking at the iscsi storage under 'content' it just appear empty (See screenshot 21).

If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your time,

Thomas

Hi,
I'd also guess that you ran into this bug. As a workaround you can check the Use LUNs directly checkbox, then the LUNs should show up. Just make sure not to use the LUN as a VM disk at the same time, if you configure LVM on top of it. I think you can also uncheck Use LUNs directly again, once you've added the LVM storage. Please try it out.

This is true. As soon as you have applied a disk to a vm then the content of the storage shifts from 'none' to 'images' in which case the storage will show as available for 'images'
 
I tried adding the iscsi with the 'Use LUNs directly', however the result is the same when trying to apply the LVM on top. The 'Base volume' field is still empty.
 
Could you post the output of
Code: 
ls /sys/block/*/holders
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id

Please use Insert > Code (it's in the formatting options) or use attachments for easy readability.

Turns out that this is an issue in PVE that sometimes happens with multipath devices. See this bug report.

As a workaround, please try:
Code: 
pvesm add lvm hades-lvm --vgname <name of volume group> --base hades:0.0.1.dm-name-hades <additional options>
Instead of using <additional options>, you can also modify the rest of the settings for the storage afterwards (assuming the command works).

I think the problem might be due to the partitions on the device. It's recommended to use the whole device for LVM. If you wish to do so, make sure there's not any data you need on the partitions, erase the partition table and eventual file system labels and run the pvesm command again.

If you really want to create LVM on top of one of the partitions, again make sure that there's not any data you need on the partition and use hades:0.0.1.dm-name-hades-part<N> instead of hades:0.0.1.dm-name-hades. But be aware that you might run into other issues later if you choose this approach.

I had the same problem as @niller except I've tried to use the whole device without partitions.

Shouldn't this be noted in official documentation until the problem is resolved?
It's quite tedious to scan forum for this (kind of) basic task.

the bugs referenced in this thread should've been solved since libpve-storage-perl 6.2-1 and it should be possible to configure this using the GUI again. Do you have a recent enough version installed? Is there a problem when you try adding an iSCSI storage via the GUI and then the LVM selecting the iSCSI storage as a base storage? If you're using multipath, please have a look here.

I'm having the exact error and I cant create the LVM over iSCSI, when I try "pvesm add lvm iSCSI-LVM --vgname LVM1 --base iSCSI:0.0.1.dm-name-iSCSI --shared yes --content images" I get an error Device /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-iSCSI not found.

does it work if you use the web UI? If not, please post the output of pveversion -v, the output of ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ and the exact error message.
 
@Fabian_E thank you for replying so quickly, all of the sudden started working when I deleted and re-added the iSCSI disk image (I did this multiple times not sure what changed) I was able to see the name under VM Disk "CH 00 ID 0 LUN 0" before it wasn't showing. Then the base module showed up in the GUI when adding LVM to the iSCSI Disk.
