By accident I ran a second instance of libvirtd. This second instance did not terminate the first instance nor did it detect there was already a running instance. By killing the second instance the first did not work anymore. Next to this, why does libvirtd terminate its iSCSI connections upon stop? I saw it cannot gracefully 'reuse' existing sessions, but it is absurd that restarting libvirtd would kill all running VMs on a host using iSCSI, or not able to get a storage pool up because it is already logged in to it.
