Hello everyone, I have recently installed libvirt 1.0.0 and am having a problem with my iSCSI storage pool's autostarting. They are just going to an inactive state right after a reboot of the host. However once the startup is complete I can manually start the pool without problem. I am getting the following errors in the libvirtd.log file but they don't really give me much as to what could be causing this. I also looked in the messages log file but didn't find anything that looked useful. *2012-11-27 20:06:50.845+0000: 1358: error : virCommandWait:2287 : internal error Child process (/sbin/iscsiadm –mode session) unexpected exit status 21* *2012-11-27 20:06:50.890+0000: 1358: error : virCommandWait:2287 : internal error Child process (/sbin/iscsiadm –mode session) unexpected exit status 21* *2012-11-27 20:07:10.159+0000: 1358: error : virCommandWait:2287 : internal error Child process (/sbin/iscsiadm –mode discovery –type sendtargets –portal 192.168.220.50:3260,1) unexpected exit status 4* *2012-11-27 20:07:10.159+0000: 1358: error : storageDriverAutostart:101 : Failed to autostart storage pool ‘stoPool01′: internal error Child process (/sbin/iscsiadm –mode discovery –type sendtargets –portal 192.168.220.50:3260,1) unexpected exit status 4* If anyone has any ideas what is causing this it would be a great help. If you need more information let me know. Thanks, Darcy

I learned that storage pools that do not see their LUNs cannot be started. So, I cooked up a different approach.
