The main docs we have are http://libvirt.org/formatstorage.html http://libvirt.org/storage.html They are basically more reference guides that howto/tutorials. Also look at the 'virsh help' output for 'vol-XXX' and 'pool-XXX' commands. As a simple example... - Create an XML definition for the iSCSI target you want to access, # cat > virt.xml <<EOF <pool type="iscsi"> <name>virtimages</name> <source> <host name="iscsi.example.com"/> <device path="demo-target"/> </source> <target> <path>/dev/disk/by-path</path> </target> </pool> EOF - Define the pool # virsh pool-define virt.xml - Activate the pool (this step logs into the server) # virsh pool-start virtimages - List the LUNs available # virsh vol-list virtimages - Query info about a LUN # virsh vol-info --pool virtimages lun-3 # virsh vol-dumpxml --pool virtimages lun-3 There's many more pool-XXX and vol-XX commands available Regards, Dan. -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, Boston -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
