Hi

I configure iSCSI with multipath, and LVM volume groups.
When i try restore a QEMU backup on LVM partition (in iSCSI) , the proxmox freezy at 60-80% D:

Looks like multipath DIE when i restore backups.
I have a Dell Powervault MD36xxi

Any have MD36xxi works with proxmox with multipaths?
I try some configs, but same result

Thanks a regards
 
You could easily remove multipath from the equation and test on just a single path. That will atleast tell you if it has anything to do with multipath.
 
OMG , same result o_O

I not configure only 1 parth (Message "duplicate path ... use x iftead y" , but for test i know thats no problem)

And proxmox freeze too!!

¿any idea? How is possible? It is only iSCSI + LVM with no multipath!
 
I make other tests, to discard multipath fail.

I create a Qemu machine, on iSCSI LVM, install debian 8. With ACTIVE MULTIPATH.
Created ok. Multipath works. I drop with iptables conection to Powervault, and they work with other paths.

I think that the problem are on RESTORE qemu machine. For some reason, scsi_id is used in the restore process. And appear scsi_id not work good...

¿Any idea?
