ISCSI Multipath does not create mapper devices during boot

[FalkoR]

i want to use my iscsi target as volumegroup using multipath
i configured multipath and "systemctl status multipath-tools" says "active (running)" but will not create the /dev/mapper/ devices
i "fixed" it by adding "systemctl restart open-iscsi.service" in the rc.local

how can i be sure that proxmox is not starting vms until rc.local is finished?

or do i miss something here?

i could try to work through the systemd files in /lib/systemd/system/ and create a "restart open-iscsi after multipath and before pve-*" but could be a hassle i would like to avoid

Hi,

you can set the the start delay on the vm->options->Start/Shutdown order.
The delay is triggers after the vm is started so it can be necessary to use a dummy CT for this.
