Hello all,

I'm having trouble getting Cinder to create volumes. I'm using a single
install of OpenStack Folsom on Ubuntu 12.04 and a lvm volume with 40 GB
labeled cinder-volumes.

# Output from vgs:
  VG             #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  cinder-volumes   1   0   0 wz--n- 45.69g 45.69g


Every time I try to create a volume I get the error
"ISCSITargetCreateFailed: Failed to create iscsi target for volume". I've
already tried following suggestions from this topic [1], but it doesn't
make any diference.

One thing I do notice is, even though the volume creation ended in error,
the equivalent space is used in the lvm volume. For instance, after the
error operation on the creation of a 1GB volume, vgs reports the following:

 VG             #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  cinder-volumes   1   1   0 wz--n- 45.69g 44.69g

As you can see, 1GB has been allocated.

Below you can find my configuration files.

# /etc/tgt/targets.conf:

volume_name_template=volume-%08x
iscsi_helper=tgtadm
iscsi_ip_prefix=192.168.111.218

Any ideas in regards to what might be wrong?

Regards,

Leander
