From the PBS command line, the following commands were used to test the connectivity between the PBS and iSCSI target and to manually setup ZFS.
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p "ip address Iscsi" iscsiadm -m node --login iscsiadm -m session -o show
“target iscsi take in session show” es. : iqn.2004-04.com.qnap:ts-431×2:iscsi.qnap.3b0505
“ip address Iscsi” es. : 192.168.200.24
If successful, then setup the ZFS pool. Determine the disk using fdisk -l. I have determined that /dev/sda was the one to use.
zpool create -f "name of folder you want" /dev/sda zpool list
After the ZFS is setup, you should be able to access /”folder created” from your system. Make note of the iSCSI connections, you’ll need them later.
Reboot. This will remove the iSCSI and make it easier to setup the iSCSI connections permanently.
After Reboot. Automatically start the iSCSI requires the following two commands and a modification to a config file.
iscsiadm --mode node -T "target iscsi take in session show" -p "ip address Iscsi" -o update -n node.startup -v automatic iscsiadm --mode node -T "target iscsi take in session show" -p "ip address Iscsi" -o update -n node.conn[0].startup -v automatic sed -i '/^node.startup = /s/manual/automatic/g' /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
Determine the disk for setup ZFS
systemctl list-units --all --full | grep disk | grep "ip address Iscsi"
Use the disk information you determined above for create zfs service at Start up

insert on shell all box in one shot, copy and past from a text file after insert the correct parameters
Start the service
systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable pbsbks-pool systemctl restart pbsbks-pool
The next time you reboot your system, the iSCSI will connect and the ZFS pool with be imported and the datastore you create will automatically remain without error.
