Hello, we are using proxmox 6. We using ZFS Over ISCSI with istgt provider and really hard to find the manual configuration.
We set up a Linux Debian host with istgt installed. Here's the config for istgt:

I have set up the ssh key and I can log in using that key. But when I'm finishing added virtual machine I got error:

No configuration found. Install istgt on "host" usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/LunCmd/Istgt.pm line 99. (500). but that istgt successful running

what's wrong? any help please
 
istgt is considered the iscsi target for FreeBSD (hence the config-file path is '/usr/local/etc/istgt/istgt.conf')
Any particular reason you don't use LIO on linux/Debian?

Hmm, I read many feedbacks on forums, which iscsi provider provides better read/write speed. And their opinion was istgt. apt-get also has istgt package, so I tried to configure on Debian. ISCSI Provider LIO special for Debian?

Maybe you can create a soft link for /usr/local/etc/istgt/istgt.conf -> your actual isgt config file path?

This should work for the config-reading - I'm not sure if the rest of the stack is compatible.
LIO is the in-kernel implementation of the iscsi target and available on most Linux distros - see e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ISCSI/LIO
http://linux-iscsi.org/wiki/LIO
Hence it's specific to Linux

Should you have some comparison where istgt has advantages to LIO (speed-wise, ease-of-use wise) please open an enhancement request in our bugzilla: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com
