If the pool is ready, here are kinds of examples http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks you can use it in guest like this: <disk type='volume' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source pool='iscsi-pool' volume='unit:0:0:1' mode='host'/> <auth username='myuser'> <secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/> </auth> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> </disk> > > Do I attach a storage pool as a disk.
