Lost connectivity with external storage after upgrade

Hi Proxmoxers.
After restarting PVE nodes previously upgraded from 5.3.13-1 to 5.4.65-1 kernel, we lost connectivity with LUNs provided by Fujitsu Eternus DX100 S4 - FC interface connected to QLogic 2692 Host Bus Adapters in servers. It's not multipath issue, as we cannot see the storage devices via fdisk, lsblk or dmsetup ls commands. There are several errors in /var/log/messages: „device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table”.
Any ideas what is wrong?
 
Did you got a workarround? i have the same problem with the QLogic Card 2692. Working fine @prox 6.1, not working on 6.2

Temporary workaround is to boot using old kernel (set default="1>2" in grub.cfg), but it's not fix. Last year I had a similar problem with Lenovo DE storage - the QLogic HBA firmware update helped.
 
Thanks this works fine for me.

Under Ubuntu (Kernel 2.4) it doesn't work aswell, but on the new one (Kernel 5.8!?) it works! So just waiting for Proxmox 6.3, perhabs it will work there!
 
Hi All
Apologies to dig this old thread up, but is the QLogic 2692 issue sorted in the latest 9.2? We are preparing a proposal for a customer that runs Dell units with Netapp storage connected via FC. I just want to be sure if I should account for this as a possible risk? All the comms I see around the issue dates back a couple of years and we have not tested it explicitly, thus turning to the forum to ask if anyone has current issues on the latest version

Several things to try :
- configure iSCSI initial link through GUI (add iSCSI in storage)
- apt install multipath-tools-boot && update-initramfs -u -k all
 
@ghusson, this thread is specifically about FC connectivity with a particular QLogic card, so I don't think recommending iSCSI would be directly applicable to the posters' situation.

That said, the best way to confirm hardware compatibility would be to check with QLogic, or with the OEM supplying the card. There have also been several kernel iterations since then, including kernel 7 being available as an opt-in, so the behavior may differ depending on the kernel version.

Proxmox does not specifically test third-party storage hardware and HBA cards. Unless someone is running this exact configuration, it may ultimately be necessary to test the combination directly.
