Nexenta Configuration

You need to create a login in proxmox gui, and add all permissions to it (including Can_use_restapi)

https://nexentabox:2000/settings/users/?this_form=users_form&operation=edituser&selected_uid=3

Can_view	X
Can_admin_groups X	 
Can_admin_services X	
Can_admin_runners X	
Can_admin_datasets X	 
Can_admin_shares X	
Can_admin_users	 X
Can_admin_disks	 X
Can_admin_network X	
Can_admin_appliance X	
Can_admin_prefs	  X
Can_search_folders X	
Can_use_restapi	  X

Then you need to create an iscsi target:

Proxmox Configuration

Gui is not yet available for storage creation.

You need to edit your /etc/pve/storage.cfg

nexenta: mynexentastorage
       portal 192.168.0.1
       blocksize 4K
       pool mynexentavolume
       login myjsonlogin
       password mypassword
       target iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:....
       ssl
       content images

Then you can simply create disk with proxmox gui.

Note: iscsi multipath doesn't work yet, so it's use only the portal ip for the iscsi connection.
