As reported in the community forum [0], libiscsi-bin is required. The library package on Bullseye would be libiscsi7, but there is no real need to mention the package explicitly, because it is a dependency of both, libiscsi-bin and pve-qemu-kvm.

User Mode iSCSI Backend

|
Storage pool type: `iscsidirect`
|
|
|
|
This backend provides basically the same functionality as the Open-iSCSI backed,
|
|
but uses a user-level library to implement it. You need to install the
|
|
`libiscsi-bin` package in order to use this backend.
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that there are no kernel drivers involved, so this
|
|
can be viewed as performance optimization. But this comes with the
|
|
drawback that you cannot use LVM on top of such iSCSI LUN. So you need
|
|
to manage all space allocations at the storage server side.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The user mode iSCSI backend uses the same configuration options as the
|
|
Open-iSCSI backed.

.Configuration Example (`/etc/pve/storage.cfg`)
