[libvirt-users] Connect libvirt to iSCSI target

Hi! I'm new to libvirt and face problems connecting to an iSCSI target. What I intend to do is to connect libvirt (I tried virt-manager and virsh) to an iSCSI target and then boot from the LUNs which contain the VMs. I followed the documentation¹ but got stuck at section 12.1.5.4.3. 1) virsh pool-define-as \ --name foo \ --type iscsi \ --source-host vmhost \ --source-dev iqn.2013-11.vmhost:vmpool \ --target /dev/disk/by-path 2) virsh pool-start foo error: Failed to start pool foo error: internal error: cannot find session virsh -c qemu:///system pool-start foo error: Failed to start pool foo error: internal error: cannot find session Why can't libvirt find the session, and which session? Running iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal vmhost:3260,1 succeeds and lists the targets. How to connect libvirt to the iSCSI target? System info: Debian sid, Linux 3.11-2-amd64 libvirtd (libvirt) 1.1.4 virsh version: 1.1.4 iSCSI target: FreeNAS-9.1.1 Best regards Marco ¹ https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Lin...
