The iSCSI volume pool does not use the volume format type element.
+ 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 path
which is the fully qualified path to the block device node.
Since 0.4.1
