Sorry, that it took me so long to start reviewing your work.

I think this is wrong. This is all new code, isn't it? So the
copyright line should read as this

Copyright (C) 2012 Ata E Husain Bohra <your email address>

You're not using anything from sys/stat.h, so this include can be removed.

This logic suggests that there can only be at most one
HostInternetScsiHba per ESX server. Is that really true?

esxVI_LookupHostInternetScsiHbaStaticTargetByName has an occurrence
parameter that is set to esxVI_Occurrence_OptionalItem. This means
that esxVI_LookupHostInternetScsiHbaStaticTargetByName is allowed to
return target as NULL. But you're blindly dereferencing it here. I
think occurrence should be passed as esxVI_Occurrence_RequiredItem
here instead.

Error reporting is missing here.

This is wrong. info->state should be VIR_STORAGE_POOL_RUNNING or
another value from the virStoragePoolState if the state can be
determined in more detail.

What does a typical device name look like? Is it easily
distinguishable from the volume names of the VMFS backend driver? Can
you give some examples?

I'm not sure if this is the best approach. What does a typical ScsiLun
look like? Can you give some examples?

Remove the const here...

.. so that the (esxVI_ScsiLun *) cast is no longer necessary.

Passing the path is not correct I think, assuming that the volume name
and path are not the same for iSCSI.

The version number here are outdated now. It should be 0.10.2.

This is as far as I got today with the review. I'll continue in the
next days, hopefully it won't take me weeks again to get back to this
