[libvirt-users] pool-refresh on iSCSI pools does not actually rescan the bus
Hi,
When I add a new LUN on an iscsi target and then issue a pool-refresh command
on the respective storage pool in libvirt, libvirt will not find the new lun
(or notice if luns have been removed).
I'm using a Dell PowerVault MD3200i iSCSI Array to hold the volumes for
virtual servers in libvirt. In libvirt, I have defined the storage pool as
this:
<pool type='iscsi'>
<name>iscsi01</name>
<uuid>52eb9c59-a7ac-a4e8-a26e-7ca112f0dd70</uuid>
<capacity>85899345920</capacity>
<allocation>85899345920</allocation>
<available>0</available>
<source>
<host name='10.3.1.15'/>
<device
path='iqn.1984-05.com.dell:powervault.md3200i.6782bcb0000859f3000000004d3eec7d'/>
</source>
<target>
<path>/dev/disk/by-id</path>
<permissions>
<mode>0700</mode>
<owner>-1</owner>
<group>-1</group>
</permissions>
</target>
</pool>
If I add a new LUN on the iSCSI array, and then issue the command "pool-
refresh iscsi01", followed by "vol-list iscsi01" in virsh, the list does
not
contain the new volume. The only workaround I have found so far for this is to
manually log in to the host server as root, do "iscsiadm -m discovery -t
sendtargets -p 10.3.1.15" and then issue the pool-refresh command in libvirt.
Libvirt is libvirt-0.8.3-4.fc14.x86_64 on Fedora 14.
Is this supposed to work like this? If not, will a newer version fix that
problem?

Guido
