The following patch set realizes the multi-IQN concept discussed in an
earlier thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx/msg16706.html

The patch realizes an XML schema like the one below and allows libvirt
to read through it to create storage pools. These XMLs when created using a virtualization manager realize unique VM
to storage LUN mappings through a single console and thus opening up
possibilities for the following scenarios -

* possibility of multiple IQNs for a single Guest
* option for hypervisor's initiator to use these IQNs on behalf of the
guest

Example Usages:
Usage 1:
VM1 - > <Init iqn1> <------------------------> <Target iqn1>
        <Init iqn2> <------------------------> <Target iqn1>
        <Init iqn3> <------------------------> <Target iqn1>
        <Init iqn4> <------------------------> <Target iqn1>

Usage 2:
VM1 - > <Init iqn1> <------------------------> <Target iqn1>
        <Init iqn2> <------------------------> <Target iqn2>
        <Init iqn3> <------------------------> <Target iqn3>
        <Init iqn4> <------------------------> <Target iqn4>

Usage 3:
VM1 - > <Init iqn1> <------------------------> <Target iqn1>

VM2 - > <Init iqn2> <------------------------> <Target iqn1>

Usage 4:
VM1 - > <Init iqn1> <------------------------> <Target iqn1>

VM2 - > <Init iqn2> <------------------------> <Target iqn2>

Example XML schema for an iSCSI storage pool created --  <pool
type="iscsi">
  <name>dell</name>
  <uuid>cf354733-b01b-8870-2040-94888640e24d</uuid>
  <capacity>0</capacity>
  <allocation>0</allocation>
  <available>0</available>
- <source>
  <initiator>
  iqnname = "<initiator IQN1>">
  iqnname = "<initiator IQN2>">
  </initiator>
  ........................................
  ........................................
  <host name="<iSCSI target hostname or Target IP address>" />
  <device path="<iSCSI Target IQN name>" />
  </source>
- <target>
  <path>/dev/disk/by-path</path>
- <permissions>
  <mode>0700</mode>
  <owner>0</owner>
  <group>0</group>
  </permissions>
  </target>
  </pool>

Each initiator iqn name can be parsed to create the unique sessions.

TODO:
1) Virt Manager GUI support to allow a visual mapping of iqn->storage
pool -> VM and thus creating the XML for consumption by libvirt.
Libvirt support added above can realize the same using virsh options.

2) option for Guest's own BIOS & initiator to use the initiator IQNs
(iSCSI in Guest)
	a) Libvirt support to allow iqn as an attribute for a VM's XML.
	b) Qemu Support to allow Guest's bios & initiator to use these
IQNs.

I like the functionality. To restate what I said when you first proposed it, though, each pool is currently based on one iSCSI session, so to preserve that paradigm, you should only allow zero or one initiator IQNs per pool. If the pool contains an initiator IQN, it will be used when creating the session. If it does not contain an initiator IQN, the system default initiator IQN will be used. If you require multiple initiator IQNs, you create multiple pools, one per initiator IQN each with the same target. I think that approach will result in a very small patch. Do you have a specific use case for which that approach would not work?
