[libvirt-users] iscsi w/ libvirt

"Playing" with a NAS capable of iscsi ... trying to make use of it within the virtual machine manager. Could someone point me at or provide me an example/screenshot of adding iscsi to my KVM-host? I think I still don't get it. Should I add an iscsi-LUN as a storage-pool? Or as single disk to a VM? Could someone pls point me at some docs to make me understand? Thanks a lot, Stefan

A storage pool maps to an iSCSI target. LUNs in the target, appear as storage volumes inside the pool. A storage volume is then assigned as a single disk to a VM.

Thanks a lot, yes, they did. I was close yesterday but only now I correctly see the LUNs as volumes ... on my way now! Thanks for the helpful howtos. Stefan
