VMWare and iSCSI

I found the error!
All characters for target name have to be lowercase!

Can you please create in the tgt plugin a check for the input, that all characters for the target name ist lowercase, or automatically change them to lowercase?

The backing store is a block device. So, that could be a partition without a filesystem, an image file, or the most popular option (in my opinion) is an LVM logical volume.

It should since zfs can provide a block device (zfs volume).

Sure.

• Wipe a disk in the Physical Disks tab
• Install the LVM plugin from the Plugins tab
• Add the newly wiped disk as a Physical Volume in the LVM plugin.
• Create a new Volume group consisting of the new physical volume in the LVM plugin. I named it vgiscsi.
• Create a new Logical Volume on the new volume group in the LVM plugin. I named it lviscsi1 and made it 2GB.
• Enable the tgt plugin in the Settings tab of the TGT plugin
• Add a target from the Targets tab
  
  • Name: misc1
  • Backing store: /dev/mapper/vgiscsi-lviscsi1
  • Initiator address (name or IP of system you want to use the iscsi target): omv4dev
• Save and apply
• It should be ready for the initiator on the client.

Here is a good how to as well - https://www.tecmint.com/setup-…nd-initiator-on-debian-9/

Thanks for the steps, works like a charm, wonder if these steps should be on the main page of the plugin, took me sometime to reach here

Excellent plugin. The connection is made without problem with Windows 10.

But I have a trouble, and it is the transfer speed.

I currently use OMV 5 with Raspberry Pi 4, and the transfer rate is 1 Gbps (+ -115 MB / s) using SMB. But when I use the iSCSI protocol, the speed does not go above 40MB / s.

Same Drive, two Logical Volumen.

Check Attachments.

The plug in works great using the steps you have provided I was wondering if you can post instructions on how to make an image file in a share

Here some screen shots of may failed attempts
