No iSCSI 'Base volume' selectable

[jonc]

I am trying to add LVM to use a new iSCSI target, however, when I select the 'Base volume' dropdown I see no options as per this image:



Running the following results in timeouts:

root@proxhost:~# [B]iscsiadm -m node -L all[/B]

iscsiadm: initiator reported error (24 - iSCSI login failed due to authorization failure)
iscsiadm: Could not log into all portals

On the iSCSI device I have CHAP enabled and I didn't see anywhere to configure authentication within Proxmox. Would this be interfering and if so what are the implications of not enabling CHAP? Any security issues?

EDIT: I disabled CHAP and re-attached the iSCSI target successfully and was then able to create LVM storage using the new space, however I now have another problem. The new LVM volume reports as 0 bytes in size and I am not able to choose the content type to store VM backups on it, only images as per this image:



I'm obviously missing something here, can somebody point me to some up to date documentation on this?

Wondering if any resolution to same problem as above: "I am trying to add LVM to use a new iSCSI target, however, when I select the 'Base volume' dropdown I see no options as per this image:" same image as originally posted above.

Using latest ProxMox and using Startwind software free iSCSI SAN manager, created a new iSCSI target on Win 7 workstation. Went by instructions on ProxMOX wiki and all stops as noted in line above with exact same problem as original poster.

Any ideas?
