    SCSI volume pools

    +

    + This provides a pool based on a SCSI HBA. Volumes are preexisting SCSI + LUNs, and cannot be created via the libvirt APIs. Since /dev/XXX names + aren't generally stable, it is recommended to configure the pool + to use /dev/disk/by-path or /dev/disk/by-id + for the target path. These provide persistent stable naming for LUNs + Since 0.6.2

    Example pool input

    +      <pool type="scsi">
    +        <name>virtimages</name>
    +        <source>
