Having as much pools as volumes is a bit unfortunate, but not a show stopper, is it? Regarding iSER and iSCSI there where some patch proposed on the list a year ago, but nothing seems to have happened since then. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-August/msg00031.html > We really would like to utilize the virStorageVolDownload / virStorageVolUpload API calls, however, it seems that those would only work if the storage volume is within a pool. > > Is there a way we could possibly define a storage volume without a pool or will we have to create a storage pool for each individual volume? The storage API assumes that volumes are in pools. -- Matthias Bolte http://photron.blogspot.com
