Configuring multipath ISCSI pools in virt-manager

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2

Issue

  • Currently Referring to Add a new pool . If the parameter /dev/disk/by-path is used, then for each LUN only one path can be imposed.
  • Whats the solution to use iSCSI LUN with multiple paths as a Storage Pool with virt-manager?

Resolution

Configuring multipath pools is currently not available.

More Info:

Currently only single path can be configured to create an iSCSI pool.

This feature is on the Wishlist of the Upstream projects supported by RedHat and hence should soon make way into the virt-manager/libvirt provided by RedHat enterprise Linux.

Root Cause

  • Neither libvirt, nor virt-manager currently supports Multipath Pools creation
