I am very new to ProxMox and somewhat to *nix as well so forgive my ignorance. I am currently learning how to use ProxMox to setup a virtualized production server environment for a small company, and I don't understand the storage system well enough to understand where I've gone wrong. I am currently getting errors in the logs about connecting to some of the paths to the SAN which cycle continuously.
I'm getting the impression my issue may be that multipath is assuming that it should have access to all four connections, but being so new I don't know if that is a wild goose chase. Would someone be able to point me in the direction I should look next to get this properly setup?
The architecture is two hosts part of a cluster each having two direct connections to the SAN (no switching in between). Each connection has its own subnet which do not overlap in any way. Host 1 has access to connection A and B while Host 2 has access to connection C and D. For example, something like:iscsid[2433]: Connection-1:0 to [target: iqn.1988-11.com.dell:01.array.X, portal: 10.X.X.X,3260] through [iface: default] is shutdown.
- Connection A: 10.0.0.0/28
- Connection B: 10.0.0.16/28
- Connection C: 10.0.0.32/28
- Connection D: 10.0.0.48/28
