iscsi

Hello, I am setting up a Proxmox cluster with 3 servers, and 1 shared iSCSI storage. It seems that I can only access this storage in iscsi mode (I asked a question about this at https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/zfs-via-iscsi.74843/post-378849) With this setup, what are my options for VM...

Hello! I'm running a PVE 5.2 cluster with 4 nodes. The cluster is attached to a SAN, an HP P2000 G3 iSCSI. VMs are hosted on the SAN. The first controller of the SAN failed. Everything is running on the second controller, but I can't manage PVE anymore. Although VMs are running, it seems that...

I see a lot of organization using NFS instead of ISCSI for vms and data storage. It's apparently more to ease operations: backup can be done on the vm files and do not require a separate server. Is this true? How much performance you are really losing when using NFS instead of ISCSI? The only...

I recently discovered that a lot of people around me are using nfs instead of iscsi on a PVE platform. The main reason for it seems that it’s easier to backup an nfs-based solution thaan an iscsi one, since on The remote disk everything is a file. Is this a general trend? What would bring...

I have been working on moving the storage of VM's from an NFS share on my TrueNas core server to a ZFS over iSCSI share on my TrueNas server. I have ZFS over iSCSI all set up and it appears to be operational. I transferred of one of the VM hard drives from the NFS storage to the ZFS storage but...

I set up a new instance of TrueNas 12 Core. I am attempting to setup iscsi storage to TrueNas in Proxmox. The vdev was created in TrueNas along with the iscsi target. I have created the iscsi connection in proxmox and it is showing as available but receive the following error when I attempt to...

So waiting a proper baclup machine due to limited supply. I would like to start to use the proxmox backup server. The size of backup sholdn't be large. At max probably 1TB on disk. I have an unused spare machine with 2x10Gbe + 4x1GbE, 2x240 GB SSD and 16GB RAM. The storage can't be expanded...

I am looking to some guidance to finalize the setup of a 3-nodes Proxmox cluster with Ceph and shared ISCSI storage. While it's working, I am not really happy with the ceph cluster resilienc and I am looking for some guidance. Each nodes have 2x10GbE ports and 2x480GB SSD dedicated for ceph...

I have exported an iSCSI LUN with multipath to a PBS server in the SAN. How should I initialize this remote disk? It doesn't show up in drive list. # lsscsi [1:0:0:0] cd/dvd QEMU QEMU DVD-ROM 2.5+ /dev/sr0 [2:0:0:0] disk QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 2.5+ /dev/sda [3:0:0:0]...

Hi All, I was able to successfully get an iscsi target hooked into my environment. As a test I created a vm - but it obviously used the entire 2tb disk. I then read that I should create an LVM on top of the iscsi and went through the setup wizard only to find the cfg.lock problem that seems...

I "think" I have this configured correctly but wanted to see if there was others that might know better. Step 1. in GUI add a new iscsi pointing to the iscsi portal and adding 1 target. (also uncheck Use LUNs) Step 2. Add node-startup = automatic to /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf (Restart iscsi...

Hi all, I'm new to Proxmox having been running VMWare since maybe 3.5 or something. Decided to switch over because I wanted to take the cheaper path to Infiniband and then found the support in VMWare not quite there. My setup now is Proxmox server with a dual-port Mellanox ConnectX-3 card. My...

Hi, I've upgraded one of our clusters from 5.4 to 6.2 only yesterday and unfortunately cannot start VMs using iSCSI storage using the UI. The logs don't show much, all I see there is Error: start failed: QEMU exited with code -1 Researching the forum I read that errors like these are likely...

Hi! I'm quite new to Proxmox, although I have some Linux experience previously, and I haven't found any working way to access my existing ZFS pool from an OpenMediaVault VM. Ideally, I'd like OMV to get access to the disk space directly without having to do a network share; this is purely based...

Hi all. Hoping for some advice and guidance for a new Proxmox user. I'm in the process of standing up a cluster of 3 identical nodes backed by iSCSI storage for VM workloads. I have created a bond of 3 NICS and defined the relevant networks for storage and enabled multipathing following the...

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...

Hi, I work at a local school district and I am trying to setup ISCSI based storage on our newer dell me series san. I have run into several issues while trying to set this up and was hoping that maybe someone could point me in the right direction. In our environment we have 3 hosts with proxmox...

Hello all! I would like to ask for help with configuration of multipath on iSCSI disk in Proxmox 6.2. I have configured multipath on the server: [hp12 ~]# iscsiadm -m session tcp: [1] 10.1.100.112:3260,22 iqn.2000-05.com.3pardata:20220002ac005aab (non-flash) tcp: [4] 10.1.100.113:3260,121...

Hi, We are trying to deploy an HA storage environment on Proxmox using multipath, a Synology NAS (RS1619xs+) and an iSCSI SAN, and we cannot get the multipath driver to manage the iSCSI LUNs. We need a little help to go further or to interpret the errors we are commiting. This is what we are...

Hello, I was wondering if there are any plans to integrate the Proxmox FreeNAS iSCSI initiator patches developped by the TheGrandWazoo and available in github repository here : https://github.com/TheGrandWazoo/freenas-proxmox into the main FreeNAS Enterprise repo. I am not a huge fan of...
