Base Volume not populating when creating a LVM

[bharper]

I'm setting up a new Proxmox server, I have successfully added the iSCSI connection to our HP Nimble. But when I go to create the LVM nothing populates for the Base Volume. A Volume has been created on the Nimble, auto discovery worked when I setup iSCSI. There are no network hops between the Proxmox server and the Nimble.

What am I missing?

Hi @bharper , welcome to the forum.

Is your LUN connected via multipath? If so, you need to follow slightly different steps.

Most likely it is not showing up because the OS sees duplicate LVM signature and fails the listing. You can check your journalctl for more information.

You are giving up much of what makes a Nimble useful and valuable using it this way. if you map the LUNs to guests directly instead, you'll be able to gain all the snapshotting functionality as designed. just be aware you'll need to orchestrate guest quiescence manually.

I found what the issue was, the iSCSI was mapped to the host IP and not the iSCSI IP.

I am guessing by "host" you meant - one of the Nimble blade specific IPs, rather than the virtual iSCSI IP?
Either way, glad you were able to fix your configuration and get it going. Feel free to mark the thread as "solved" by editing the title tag of the original post.
