Quick HOWTO on setting up iSCSI Multipath

This is really cool!
Can you please make a new updated version for Proxmox 9.2 or later? I want to definitely try to do:
TrueNAS VM -> iSCSI Luns -> MPIO + ip address stuff -> Proxmox01/02/03/04/05 to mount and launch my VMs instead of NFS.
We love NFS but its time to learn iSCSI, so if you have tips on a proxmox 9 guide that would be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

You know that there are statements "out there" which declare iSCSI deprecated, right?
Of course this is heavily exaggerated, but for new setups: choose wisely! Changing the storage system after the fact is... difficult - as you know.
Disclaimer: I do not use it - probably I should not talk about it at all. Please ignore this post ;-)
iSCSI isnt deprecated or dead, which is to say the driver stack is included with every modern operating system. having said that, iscsi makes little sense in a world where nvof exists.
Microsoft is still catching up with NVMe/TCP, and we've encountered PSODs on ESXi in the past related to NVMe/TCP connections.
iSCSI is extremely mature and broadly supported. As mentioned, it may make sense in more scenarios than initially appears.

Gotcha, understand completely thanks for the feedback. I still support very old systems, which is why I was hoping you guys or the the original poster can provide guidance on updating it for proxmox 9. We are planning to move to iscsi+mpio and even ALUA I believe, so any update to this guide would immensely be appreciated, thanks!
