Description of problem: I attempted to install a guest from virt-manager, selecting a volume from an iSCSI storage pool. This resulted in virtinst creating XML for the disk that looked like <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='unknown'/> <source dev='/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.254.185:3260-iscsi-iqn.2004-04.com.qnap:ts-439proii:iscsi.berrangehome.bf6d84-lun-3'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> </disk> Note the type='unknown'. What's going on is that VirtualDisk.py is copying the vol/target/format/@type field from the volume XML across to the guest XML. It should only do this for volumes that report type=file. For volumes of type=block, the format refers to the partition table format, so the guest XML should just get type='raw' One quick hack change I tried in VirtualDisk.py set_driver() is: elif self.vol_object: fmt = None if self.type != VirtualDisk.TYPE_BLOCK: fmt = _util.get_xml_path(self.vol_object.XMLDesc(0), "/volume/target/format/@type") if drvname == self.DRIVER_QEMU: drvtype = _qemu_sanitize_drvtype(self.type, fmt) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-virtinst-0.500.4-1.fc13.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

sorry for the duplicate, i searched for isci in libvirt... any idea when this will be fixed? now that rhel6 is out :-) or should I just apply that hack?
If you have a problem with this on RHEL6 too, please file a BZ directly against RHEL6 product rather than just Fedora.
no that's not what I meant. I meant that you might have some more time now that rhel6 is out :-) haven't tried rhel6 yet, am a bit low on subscriptions :-)
Thanks for the report, fixed upstream: http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/python-virtinst/rev/5b0f7408003b
