There is a concept of a storage pool, containing storage volumes. There are various impls of storage pools, one of which is iSCSI. This lets you login to iSCSI servers, enumerate LUNs, determine the persistent stable path for a LUN and then assign it to a guest. Similarly given a guest disk, you can query the storage volume associated wih the path, and then query the storage pool associated with the volume. Letting you map in both directions between guests and iSCSI servers/volumes.
