    iSCSI, cluster of Proxmox, corruption ?

    Hello, It's certainly written somewhere, but I didn't find it on https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_iSCSI It's said that it's generally not recommended to mount multiple iSCSI LUN on a host as it leads to data corruption. Therefore, how does Proxmox handle this when used inside a cluster...

    Very bad iSCSI performance despite no config change

    Hello! I have a small cluster with my VMs living on LVM over iSCSI on a hp msa2050 SAN. I built it back in January and it was nice and quick - didn't even bother with multipath or any tuning because even with 10+ VMs running, it was fast enough. I left it running, doing nothing, until this...

    [SOLVED] Peculiar Behavior for ZFS-over-ISCSI on FreeNAS (VM creates but can't be started because LUN can't be reached?)

    All, I re-did a lot of the networking on my cluster and appear to have successfully changed everything over to ZFS-over-ISCSI using LACP and Linux bonded interfaces for some throughput improvement and redundancy. I am connecting to a FreeNAS cluster using GrandWazoo's ZFS-over-ISCSI patch...

    [SOLVED] I broke LVM on iSCSI in a cluster. Can it be fixed?

    I think I'm in a bit of trouble here. We have a san and it took a lot of effort to get working, but eventually it did through some miracle. I added LVM on top and the first two memebs of the cluster saw it without trouble. Then I realised the other members of the cluster hadn't been set up to...
