ZFS over iSCSI with QNAP QuTS hero

[hoffmn01]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to implement ZFS over iSCSI with my Proxmox-Cluster (4 nodes) and my QNAP SAN connected via 25G Ethernet. I have found a lot of forum entries on some relevant topics but I am missing a bit a general guidance.

What I found is that there needs to be a "plugin" (according to https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_ZFS_over_ISCSI) that handles the ZFS stuff via ssh on the storage device. The question I have is how to get the iSCSI connected to the Proxmox hosts? In my setup it seems to simply ignore my attempts without any further notice. I am even not sure if the QNAP device is already properly set up and willing to perform.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you and best regards,
Nico

The ZFS/iSCSI plugin takes care of both ZFS carving and iSCSI export/connectivity. However, it has specific requirements around storage management and iSCSI daemon types.
The native plugin may not be compatible with your particular NAS. I'd recommend that you look around google/github for experiences that are similar to yours.

Good luck
