I successfully added an iSCSI target in VirtManager using '/dev/disk/by-path' as the Target Path, and can now see the LUN on that target in the Volumes listing.
However, I do not appear able to use this LUN as a location to store a file image when setting up a new VM. If I use the path '/dev/disk/by-path/somepath/vm.img' as a storgae location and set an image size of say 20,000MB, I get a message saying that the requested size is greater than 1978MB (or a very similar number), which is of course true. But that LUN is 20GB in size. Not finding any way around this, independently of VirtManager I mounted the iSCSI LUN to a point in the filesystem (/vmscsi), set the correct SELinux context on that mount point, and then set up that mount point as a simple FS (filesystem) storage location. VM file images now happily install to that location, which is in effect the same location I was trying to use initially. I must be missing something basic here, any comments? Thanks again. _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
