Proxmox 4.4 and storage ZFS over iSCSI on OpenMediaVault

[Ivan Drago]

Hi,

I have configured storage on Proxmox:

zfs: omv
        iscsiprovider iet
        target iqn.2017-05.net.xxxxxxx.pluto:omvsan
        blocksize 4k
        pool omvz
        portal xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        nowritecache 1
        content images
        sparse 1

The storage appears to be connected correctly.
At the storage status page I can see status "Active".

I'm not sure if iSCSI is correctly configured on OMV side:

            </lun>
          </luns>
        </target>
      </targets>
    </iscsitarget>

At the LUN tab of iSCSI target configuration I must select any existing ZFS volume but Proxmox storage is designed to create ZFS volumes via iSCSI.

Finally after VM creation I got an error:

TASK ERROR: create failed - 6: Parse error [LUN 0 Path=/dev/zd0,Type=blockio] at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/LunCmd/Iet.pm line 171.

Although on the OpenMediaVault ZFS volume "vm-100-disk-1" is created perfectly.

Hello,

OMV 3.x with iscsi target is not support fileio. You should manually change iscsi configure in file /etc/iet/ietd.conf.

Type=blockio => Type=fileio
