First public release. Beta: tested in unit tests and on a 6-node Proxmox VE 9 cluster; the array drivers are written against vendor API references and SDKs but none has yet been exercised against a real array. Try each array type with a small test datastore first; reports are very welcome (use the Array report issue template).

What it does

  • SAN view in the Proxmox GUI and pvesan CLI: FC HBAs and targets, LUNs, multipath state and paths across every node.
  • vCenter-style operations: rescan all HBAs cluster-wide, add / remove devices, create shared-LVM datastores, grow, rename, detach and clean up dead paths.
  • Array integration: create the volume on the array, map it to the cluster, rescan every node and create the datastore from one form; grow and delete on the array too.
    • IBM FlashSystem / Spectrum Virtualize
    • Pure Storage FlashArray
    • INFINIDAT InfiniBox
    • Dell PowerStore, Dell PowerMax / VMAX
    • NetApp ONTAP, NetApp E-Series
    • Hitachi VSP (Configuration Manager REST)

Install

On every node:

apt install ./pve-fcsan_1.3.0_all.deb

Then follow docs/pvesan-Runbook.md (also as PDF). docs/pvesan-How-It-Works.md explains the design.

Requirements

Proxmox VE 8 or 9, multipath-tools, lvm2.
