The patch adds the backend driver to support iSCSI format storage pools and volumes for ESX host. The mapping of ESX iSCSI specifics to Libvirt is as follows:
1. ESX static iSCSI target <------> Libvirt Storage Pools 2. ESX iSCSI LUNs <------> Libvirt Storage Volumes.
The above understanding is based on http://libvirt.org/storage.html.
The operation supported on iSCSI pools includes:
1. List storage pools & volumes. 2. Get xml descriptor operaion on pools & volumes. 3. Lookup operation on pools & volumes by name, uuid and path (if applicable).
iSCSI pools does not support operations such as: Create / remove pools and volumes.
I don't have time for this one today anymore. I'll definitely come back to it later this week. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
