Do you have the iSCSI kernel modules SCST packages installed ?

i do not believe Proxmox maintains SCST packages.

We build and maintain deb and rpms for the SCST kernel modules and userspace packages. Here is the three deb packages:

• https://repo.45drives.com/debian/pool/main/s/scst/iscsi-scst_3.9.0.aa2c92542-1.1_amd64.deb
• https://repo.45drives.com/debian/pool/main/s/scst/scst-dkms_3.9.0.aa2c92542-1.1_all.deb
• https://repo.45drives.com/debian/pool/main/s/scst/scstadmin_3.9.0.aa2c92542-1.1_amd64.deb

After install you can load kernel modules with:

modprobe scst
modprobe iscsi-scst
modprobe scst-vdisk

To load at boot create this file:
/etc/modules-load.d/scst.conf

With this content

scst_vdisk
iscsi_scst
scst

iscsi-scst seems to be missing for rhel. 🤔

I have the same issue with the new file sharing update. I am using a prebuilt full burned in HL15 that I purchased in July. It is running the rocky Linux. If I down grade to cockpit-file-sharing-3.3.7-1.el8.noarch.rpm the errors go away. Any thing past that throw the following error.

I have already installed the following 3 SCST packages that are in e18 stable repo:

scst-dkms-3.9.0.aa2c92542-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
scst-dkms-userspace-3.9.0.aa2c92542-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
scstadmin-1.0.0aa2c92542-1.x86_64.rpm

Here is the output for the version of Linux I am running.

Linux version 4.18.0-553.22.1.el8_10.x86_64 (mockbuild@iad1-prod-build001.bld.equ.rockylinux.org) (gcc version 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-22) (GCC)) #1 SMP Wed Sep 25 09:20:43 UTC 2024

make sure iscsi-scst is installed.

[AlBundy33]

iscsi-scst seems not to be available in rhel-repo 🤔

For anyone that is still having this issue, I reached out to 45drives directly and they provided the solution. Here are the steps needed for iscsi to be installed and work. For me only the Echo commands at the end were needed as I already had everything installed.

Here are the installation instructions for the scst modules.

• Update system and reboot

  • dnf update -y && reboot

• remove conflicting iscsi packages

  • dnf remove targetcli

• Install Kernel Development packages and DKMS packages

  • dnf install kernel-devel dkms

• Install iSCSI packages *** THIS SHOULD HANG FOR A WHILE IT BUILDS THE MODULES ***

  • dnf install scst-dkms scst-dkms-userspace scstadmin

• enable and load modules

  • echo "iscsi-scst" >> /etc/modules-load.d/scst.conf && modprobe iscsi-scst

  • echo "scst" >> /etc/modules-load.d/scst.conf && modprobe scst

  • echo "scst_vdisk" >> /etc/modules-load.d/scst.conf && modprobe "scst_vdisk"
