                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you for putting the time into this. I actually found https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Multipath and followed that document before seeing your post.  I had to resize my LVM as I had my Synology LUN set to 1G when it should have been 7T.  So, I have a multi-path iSCSI to Synology with MTU 9216.  Now I will try and create a new VM then try and import a VMWare VM.  Creating the LVM was a bit confusing with the multi-path until realized <span>I was still choosing a Base Storage when it should be skipped and simply choose the new Volume group.</span></p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@clnx welcome to the forums! Great questions on Proxmox and iSCSI connections. First, take a look at my blog post on creating Proxmox iSCSI connections as I used a Synology NAS for this process as well: <a href="https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2022/01/proxmox-iscsi-target-to-synology-nas/">Proxmox iSCSI target to Synology NAS.</a></p>
<p>For multipathing, you will want to check out installing the package multipath-tools:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">apt update
apt install multipath-tools</pre>
<p> </p>
<p>Once you have the package installed, you will want to edit the configuration file located here:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">nano /etc/multipath.conf</pre>
<p>You can create a general configuration using something like the following example:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">defaults {
    user_friendly_names yes
    find_multipaths yes
}

blacklist {
    devnode "^sda"
}

devices {
    device {
        vendor "Synology"
        product ".*"
        path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
        path_checker tur
        rr_weight uniform
        no_path_retry queue
        failback immediate
    }
}
</pre>
<p>After you create the configuration file, you will need to restart the multipathing configuration:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">systemctl restart multipathd</pre>
<p>Discover your iSCSI target by IP addresses:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p &lt;target_IP&gt;</pre>
<p>Log into each target session:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">iscsiadm -m node --login</pre>
<p>After logging into the IP addresses with the above command, make sure multipath devices are created using the command:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">multipath -ll</pre>
<p>You should see a multipath device (will see something like "mpatha", etc) that combines both iSCSI paths.</p>
<p>Take a look at this official documentation here as well from Proxmox: <a href="https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Multipath">Multipath - Proxmox VE</a>.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just diving into Proxmox from VMWare.  I have create two iSCSI connectors to my Synology UC3200. Not sure how to use them as "redundant" connections so I created a Cluster using those links. I think this is wrong and now I don't know how to remove that cluster.  Anyhow I tried creating a LVM but get an error.  I can preface this with I didn't set the size of my Synology LUN and it was 1G. I fixed this then issued "<span class="s1">iscsiadm --mode session --rescan" to fix the reported LUN size.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>create storage failed: command '/sbin/pvs --separator : --noheadings --units k --unbuffered --nosuffix --options pv_name,pv_size,vg_name,pv_uuid /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600140533763436dbfedd4c20d9b20d6' failed: exit code 5 (500)</span></p>
<p>How do I make use of my two iSCSI connectors to my Synology LUN properly?</p>]]></content:encoded>
