Hello,
Running six node Proxmox cluster version 6.1-7 and run into a strange issue when removing an iSCSI volume from the cluster. Adding the iSCSI volume to the cluster goes through fine and there are no errors and system logs are clean. But then I decided to remove the iSCSI storage volume from the cluster. Doing that through the web GUI seemed to go through fine with no errors and no VM's were using the iSCSI share. I then removed the iSCSI target from the NAS storage unit. At that point, all the nodes in my cluster started spewing the following errors in the system logs:

ar 10 16:06:07 sun2 iscsid[1451]: connect to 192.168.50.10:3260 failed (Connection refused)
Mar 10 16:06:07 sun2 iscsid[1451]: connect to 10.206.20.207:3260 failed (Connection refused)
Mar 10 16:06:10 sun2 iscsid[1451]: connect to 192.168.50.10:3260 failed (Connection refused)
Mar 10 16:06:10 sun2 iscsid[1451]: connect to 10.206.20.207:3260 failed (Connection refused)

Why is the cluster still trying to connect to the iSCSI server when I removed it? It was the only iSCSI volume defined. The only way I can get the errors to stop is by rebooting the nodes. Looking for a solution that doesn't require rebooting the nodes.

Thanks...

for safety reasons, we do not cancel active storage connections ...

You can use iscsiadm to cancel active iscsi sessions (see "man iscsiadm")
 
Thanks for the reply. I tried the following with no success:

The sessions will not go away. Both IP's are the iSCSI server seen on the two NICs on different VLANs. Could that be causing this issue?
 
Just update here. Never could find a way to stop the syslog messages other than rebooting the node.
