[PVE-User] qmrestore to external iscsi storage fails

[Alain Péan]

Hi Sascha,

I already did such things, and it worked fine for me, even if I don't 
remember the exact way I did it. But I wonder if using the logical 
volume name is the correct way to do it. If I remember correctly, I did 
it with the storage name appearing in the web interface (under storage). 
I don't use the LUN directly but a logical volume for each VM, as stated 
in the link you give...
What name for your iSCSI storage do you have in your web interface ?

Hopes that helps...

Alain
