Hi there,

I am having trouble viewing all my iSCSI targets when I try to add via the web interface.

I have 12 LUNs on my SAN but when I try to add via web interface it only shows me two. I have tried rediscovery targets and logging in and out of them but I can't seem to get more than two to appear.

Any ideas guys?

I had disappearing LUNs, too and found that on the SAN they were mapped to a specific NIC and I had not added that NIC as a specific portal in Proxmox. If you are using multiple NICs to your SAN, try it with just one and map all of your LUNs to that one and see if they pop up. Also, if you are not using a dedicated NIC for you SAN connection, then add one.

Hi Charnov,

Interesting point. My SAN is Dell Equallogic PS4000XV (x2) and I have bonded two NIC's together to make the connection to the SAN as a single IP as bond0.
On the SAN you can specify by IP access rights to the LUN. At the moment I have set this as 192.168.*.* (you can use wildcards), but I'll try specifying my bond0 address and see if that helps.

Unfortunately, specifying the bond0 address in my SAN didn't make any difference.

I guess adding iSCSI targets manually to /etc/pve/storage.cnf isn't such a hardship for now. At least it makes me double-check I'm adding the right target ;)
