Add storage to VM (iSCSI)

[Piotr_]

Hi,

I just started with virtualization a few weeks ago. I have got an Ubuntu VM running in Proxmox and I have added an iSCSI disk (created on my Synology NAS). I'm trying to understand the concept of iSCSI, LUN, LVM etc.

I can see the iSCSI disk in my vm as /dev/sdb, can I just mount this disk and use this for storage ? Or am I misunderstanding the concept of adding iSCSI disks to ProxMox ?

Thnx !

Multiple ways work:
- adding a disk in PVE (host), create LVM on top and use for multiple VMs
- using iSCSI to have the backing device for on VM
- adding iSCSI inside of the VM, completely bypassing PVE

Either way, you have a disk inside of your VM that can be used for whatever you want.

Thanks for the reply, it's clear to me now !
