SAN FC Multipath disk not detected in Proxmox GUI

[Vithyapathi]

Hi,

I have installed and configured a 3-node cluster and am using SAN FC LUNs for the storage pool. The LUNs are detected and configured as multipath. However, when I attempt to create a storage pool using LVM, ZFS, or Ceph storage, the multipath disk does not appear in the GUI terminal.

I managed to create the Ceph storage using the CLI, and the shared DiskPool has been created. However, when I try to create, clone, or migrate a VM, I encounter the following error:

Error:
create full clone of drive scsi0 (local-lvm:vm-100-disk-0)
TASK ERROR: clone failed: rbd error: 'storage-DiskPool00'-locked command timed out - aborting

I would appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide to resolve this issue.

This is the process I’ve followed to get FC SAN storage working

The only working solution for a shared FC-based LUN is thick LVM and you need to create the physical volume and volume group once on the CLI for the whole cluster.
