Hello,

The situation is, I have one storage node that has cinder-volume service up and running on top of it and has a dedicated physical NIC for storage traffic. I have set the following configuration in /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file at the storage node:

volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver volume_group = cinder-volumes target_protocol = iscsi target_helper = lioadm iscsi_ip_address = 10.0.102.11 (different than the management ip)

The service is able to create the volume and attach it as a backstore for iSCSI, but it can't create a Portal for iSCSI service. Should I create the portal entry by myself? or is there a mistake I have made in the config file?

Thanks in advance

Hi, What operation are you trying to do? What is the failure you are seeing? If you are creating a volume from image using the LVM backend, then there won't be an iSCSI target/portal for the operation. If you are attaching the volume to a nova instance and it's failing, there should be an error either on the cinder volume logs or the nova compute logs that would help figure out the issue. Cheers, Gorka.
