Hello! I've got two Dell R350 poweredge servers connected to a Dell EMC ME4012 via SAS. I'm trying to get my two volumes seen by proxmox. I have host initiators discovered on the ME4012 for my two proxmox nodes. Has anyone been able to work through this and help guide me? I've been around proxmox a bit but certainly not an advanced user.

No, I dont anticipate issues - its what it was designed for, based on the information you provided.
I am not familiar with licensing requirements of this Dell model, perhaps there are none. You can always reach out to Dell support for assistance on connecting this storage to a Linux client.

Okay, I have the disks showing up from the SAN but it appears that I'm getting an advertisement from each controller. I only have one 3.84TB volume, and one 1.2 TB volume, however each is listed twice since there is a SAS cable connected to each controller.
