[Qemu-devel] Problem to start VM with libiscsi + qemu upstream

[Roy Shterman]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get VM started with libiscsi (iSCSI initiator) device. Every
thing seems good from iSCSI point of view, but I'm stuck in VM boot,
"Booting from Hard Disk".
Any idea what can get wrong? how I can assure that the boot itself is from
the wanted disk.
Also will be helpful if someone can tell me how can I debug issues like
that.

below my xml part of disks:
