The difference with already supported pool types (dir, fs, block) is: there are two modes for iscsi pool (or network pools in future), one can specify it either to use the volume target path (the path showed up on host) with mode='host', or to use the remote URI qemu supports (e.g. file=iscsi://example.org:6000/iqn.1992-01.com.example/1) with mode='direct'. For 'host' mode, it copies the volume target path into disk->src. For 'direct' mode, the corresponding info in the *one* pool source host def is copied to disk->hosts[0].
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
