RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
fail to boot guest with pass-through iSCSI LUN specified '-snapshot/snapshot=on'.
But we can create snapshot from a pass-through iSCSI LUN to local file successfully.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
3.10.0-50.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-1.5.3-19.el7.x86_64
seabios-1.7.2.2-4.el7.x86_64
guest info:
2.6.32-425.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot guest with pass-through iSCSI LUN specified '-snapshot/snapshot=on'. 
e.g:/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M q35 -S -cpu SandyBridge -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection...-drive file=/dev/disk/by-path/ip-10.66.90.100:3260-iscsi-iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-0971f7d03-1dff49b26885073d-s2-sluo-172259-lun-0,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,werror=stop,rerror=stop,snapshot=on -device virtio-scsi-pci,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x7,id=scsi0 -device scsi-block,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk,bus=scsi0.0
2.
3.

Actual results:
after step 1, QEMU will quit with wrong warning message.
(qemu) qemu-kvm: -device scsi-block,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk,bus=scsi0.0: scsi-block: scsi generic interface too old
qemu-kvm: -device scsi-block,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk,bus=scsi0.0: Device initialization failed.
qemu-kvm: -device scsi-block,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk,bus=scsi0.0: Device 'scsi-block' could not be initialized

Expected results:
It should boot up guest successfully with pass-through iSCSI LUN specified '-snapshot/snapshot=on'.
