Daniel, Thank you. I was misunderstanding how iscsi iSCSI Enterprise Target Daemon /ietd.conf work. I was setting up multiple targets with only one LUN each, and thinking I was creating multiple LUNs on the same target. So right way to set up multiple LUNS for one target under Ubuntu Karmic using iSCSI Enterprise Target via ietd.conf: Target iqn.2010-04.gov.blah.blah.blah.keeper:vmstorage <SNIP> # Logical Unit definition # You must define one logical unit at least. # Block devices, regular files, LVM, and RAID can be offered # to the initiators as a block device. Lun 0 Path=/dev/vg0/iscsi_pool,Type=fileio Lun 1 Path=/dev/vg0/test_pool,Type=fileio # Alias name for this target Alias VMStoragePool <SNIP> <NOT> Target iqn.2010-04.gov.blah.blah.blah.keeper:vmstorage.lun0 Lun 0 Path=/dev/vg0/iscsi_pool,Type=fileio ALIAS LUN0 Target iqn.2010-04.gov.blah.blah.blah.keeper:vmstorage.lun1 Lun 1 Path=/dev/vg0/test_pool,Type=fileio ALIAS LUN1 </NOT> To add additional volumes, additional LUNs will need to be created on the TARGET side, and then exported via iSCSI After correcting my Target side configuration, I was able to create an iSCSI pool through virt-manager, and see the two LUNs as available volumes.

Daniel,
OK so I think I get it now. While for other storage backends one pool can hold multiple volumes, when using iSCIS there is alwasy a 1 to 1 relationship for pool to volume? Each pool contains exactly one volume?
No, each pool can contain multiple volumes. If you have created a iSCSI target and given it multiple LUNs, then you'll see multiple volumes in libvirt.
See the virsh vol-list output in this example:

for an iSCSI target with 2 LUNs
