Unable to add storage to VM.

Good Day,

I am not able to add an iSCSI disk to VMs (see attached image no-disk-showing-up.PNG).

Not sure what to look for, "pvesm status" takes quite some time to show output, the warning at the start is for a machine that seems to be running perfectly fine but not sure if it is causing issues otherwise. The only other oddity I can think of is the disk now has more than one letter rather than one (sdab).

Code:
root@pve002:~# time pvesm status
  WARNING: PV gZmwSx-6q0U-ZnY0-xmPo-vfzg-qiox-L8L4H7 on /dev/sdn5 was already found on /dev/sdz5.

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.29.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xc32c0476.

Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdab: 80 GiB, 85899345920 bytes, 167772160 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Disklabel type: dos

Any help would be appreciated

Did you add the storage for all nodes? How looks your storage config?
 
Yes it should be available to all nodes, no node was chosen when the disk was created (I'm posting from our documentation how things are setup).

There is only one node in the cluster at the moment anyway.

Well quick update, a bit of web debugging shows the storage request timing out.

Which pushes me towards the part where the "pvesm status" command is taking long (it took 2 minutes and 11 seconds, and this times out in 30 seconds).
