Hello,
I am experiencing difficulties connecting my iSCSI volume, created on a Dell EqualLogic PS4100 SAN, to my Proxmox environment. The iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) has been correctly configured on the SAN, and the volume is visible from Proxmox; however, its status appears as 'unknown'. I also can`t create a LVM. Additionally, I receive 'Authentication Error' messages both in the Proxmox shell and on the SAN. I have attempted connections with and without Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication, but neither approach has been successful. No specific access policies have been set on the SAN.
Could someone assist in identifying the potential cause of this issue?
Thank you.
