Can I tell Proxmox that a storage directory is shared across nodes?

[jgarcia]

I have also used this thread:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/adding-iscsi-storage-to-ha-cluster.19863/

But used iscsi approach from cli to all, and only added the dir from web UI.

I formated the lv on top iscsi volume with xfs and mounted on /mnt/Backups in

xfs is a local file system - you cannot mount it on multiple nodes at the same time.
What you do is extremely dangerous and will not work.

Could you point any solution to it ?

Or it is impossible to do what I want to do using iscsi + lv?

thanks

What do you want to do exactly? You can already store VMs on a shared LV (there is no need for a file system).

I want to backup my VMs on a shared storage.
But because of problems with NFS regarding network bandwith, I would like to use the isolated iSCSI backend network who is more reliable for us right now.

I recommend NFS for backup.
