<p>I'm new to K8s and now i'm stuck with create a pod with iscsi volume
I'm using openfiler as iscsi target, provide a LUN to K8s host nodes. 
I can see the disk through "multipath -l":</p>

<p>My K8s cluster cannot create a pod, and here's event in describe pod command:</p>

<p>Can anyone show me what should I adjust my lab? Or what material I should read to go over this problem? Thank you</p>

<p>Finally, I think that i found what cause the problem. It might be my openfiler iscsi server. After create another linux iscsi server with targetd and change my volume manifest to new ones properties, K8s cluster can create pod, then attach volume smoothly. </p>
