iSCSI Configuration

[Antonino89]

Hi Team,

i'm going ahead with my proxmox environment installation in my datacenter.

I have 2 servers connected to another third server that act as shared storage (FreeNas) See image attached.

I configured the free NAS correctly, when i'm going to add that storage to proxmox i have some problem like this (in the image attached):

i can't see the available space of the shared storage server, so i can't install any VM on it.

From the command line Server1 is able to "hear" the SharedStorage target.

root@Server1:~# pvesm iscsiscan -portal 192.168.2.16:3260
iqn.2005-10.org.freenas.ctlroxmox 192.168.2.16:3260

Any sugestions?

You can't share iscsi directly between hosts. You have to create an LVM and add the iscsi storage to the LVM, then mark the LVM as shared. Then you'll use the LVM for creating your disks when you create a VM.

So i have to create an LVM in the Server1 let's say... i can do it via the GUI?

Even if i'm going to create a LVM linked to the shared storage, it seems that proxmox is unable to see it.

Solved.

Problem was on the FreeNas configuration.
