[SOLVED] Unable to add the iSCSI disk to the backup system

[catmao]

I have used open iSCSI to mount the multipath device in the console, and I can see the disk in the operating system, but I can't add the disk in the console or GUI.

yes we only do support 'basic' disks for the disk management at the moment, you can of course mount your disk manually under any path (e.g. /mnt/YOURDISK) and then
add a new datastore with that path

Yes, it's working. But I found another problem. The created datastore can't change its name. Well, at least it runs.
