The patch adds the backend driver to support iSCSI format storage pools and volumes for ESX host. The mapping of ESX iSCSI specifics to Libvirt is as follows: 1. ESX static iSCSI target <------> Libvirt Storage Pools 2. ESX iSCSI LUNs <------> Libvirt Storage Volumes. The above understanding is based on http://libvirt.org/storage.html. The operation supported on iSCSI pools includes: 1. List storage pools & volumes. 2. Get XML descriptor operaion on pools & volumes. 3. Lookup operation on pools & volumes by name, UUID and path (if applicable). iSCSI pools does not support operations such as: Create / remove pools and volumes.
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.
