I am running into a problem attaching an iscsi disk to a VM in
libvirt using "virsh attach-device" on Rocky 9 with the following error:
"unable to execute QEMU command 'blockdev-add': Unknown driver
'iscsi'". I've found some indications that libiscsi is being removed
from RHEL 9, like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1967133 but it's not
clear to me what alternatives might be available for libvirt users that depend on the
libiscsi-based block device driver.
Are there alternate packages that can be installed to re-enable the iscsi block device
driver for qemu on RHEL 9 based systems? Or would it be necessary to rebuild libvirt/qemu
to get this block device driver to work again?
Libvirt upstream can't really help here. I suggest you ask your distro
maintainers. They are the ones making decisions which features to enable
and disable.
Otherwise, rebuilding package on your own is your only option.
Sorry,
