Re: [libvirt-users] Connect libvirt to iSCSI target

Don't forget that the 'source-host' may be listed as 'host1.example.com'; however, the iqn has 'com.example.host1'. IOW - reversed... Have you looked at http://libvirt.org/formatstorage.html ? There's an example there of output that works for me. Use virsh pool-dumpxml <pool> to view the XML... Also, do you need to authenticate to the iSCSI target? The iscsiadm will use '/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf'. See the node.session.auth.{authmethod | username | password} fields, so while iscsiadm may work, when libvirt goes to connect it fails. Looking at the output in the system messages log may help (for my f19 /var/log/messages). You may also find if you have selinux enabled as Enforcing there could be more configuration that you need (if the iSCSI tgtd is local). Setting up a label on the file - something I'm not an expert at... Another tool to try is 'iscsi-ls' from package 'libiscsi-utils' iscsi-ls -s -i iqn.2013-11.vmhost:vmpool \ iscsi://<username>%<password>@<ipAddr>:3260 where the <username>/<password> allow the authentication to the ipAddr iSCSI tgt server. If you need to authenticate, then set up a secret to the iSCSI server, see http://libvirt.org/formatsecret.html for an example. HTH, John What's your QEMU version?
