Subject: [PATCH v3 manager 74/76] ui: storage wizard: do not offer LUNs in use for a new volume group
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 00:31:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105233336.2178064-75-t.lamprecht@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105233336.2178064-1-t.lamprecht@proxmox.com>
The iSCSI and Fibre Channel setups offered every unused LUN for a new
volume group, including LUNs that the scan node uses, for example
through a device-mapper map built on one of their paths, and LUNs
whose local users could not be checked. The node refuses a new volume
group on such a LUN, so the setup failed at its last step instead.
Show these LUNs as not selectable, naming the user or the failed
check. Existing volume groups can still be reused.
