Is this an issue?
Could you give me some advise to debug this problem ? I can provide more information if
need.
Libvirt (or rather libxml2 which is used for URI formatting) escapes special
characters, but libiscsi doesn't decode them.
This seems to be fixed in libiscsi git, but it hasn't been released yet:
