Hi Rafiu
Sorry for not being clear on this.
I'm able to create a partition of mode=primary and partition
type=physical volume in the 'Physical Storage Mgmt' module but after
that I can't do anything else.
It's not possible to create a volume group in the 'Volume Group Mgmt.'
(no physical volumes to add). So I can't create a new volume of type
iSCSI before I have configured a volume group.
OK that makes more sense now ;)
It seems like the server did not discover the new created partition.
I rebooted server but still partition is not visible in the 'Volume
Group Mgmt.'.
How big a PV did you create?
Depending on how proficient you are at the command line, you might want
to try wiping out the partition table on the disks you're using for data.
Just do a dd on the first few blocks (and last few blocks in case it's
already gpt) of the data disks to get rid of partition metadata. Then go
back to the physical device management UI and see whether you can
partition again and create volume groups.
Needless to say, you don't want to be running dd on a device that
contains any valuable data.

7. Still not able to create physical volume of type iSCSI (only
primary).
You create iSCSI devices in the "Create New Volume" section. You are
currently trying to do it in the wrong place.
Select Filesystem type of iSCSI when creating a logical volume. Also,
iSCSI type devices have network ACLs enabled, so once it's been created,
you need to edit it select which networks are allowed to access it.
