From Ubuntu kvm I am unable to connect to synology Disk Station iSCSI target


My goal is to create a storage pool for KVM with an iSCSI target hosted in Synology Disk Station.

I've created an iSCSI target in Synology Disk Station, with no Chap. I am able to connect to and use this target in ESXI, but I am unable to do the same in KVM.

To connect to it in ESXI I had to create add a Host in Synology Disk Station and provided the initiator iqn.

I attempted to add a Host in Synology Disk Station for KVM but I cannot find any wait to get the KVM initiator iqn. I'm not sure if the Host is needed or not.

Using Cockpit I've attempted to create a storage pool.

I enter the correct host and iqn and create the pool, then I click activate. Shortly after I get the error method call Create timed out.

The target is query-able using sudo isnsadm --list nodes --local but that is the most I've been able to achieve.

What else can I try?


Solution

  • The address connecting with needs to match iSCSI network bindings.

    I found in my synology I was only binding to 3/4 nics and the 4th is the one I was attempting to connect on.
