Description Raghu 2014-07-10 12:08:39 UTC 
Created attachment 917050 [details]
output of libguestfs-test-tool

Description of problem:
libguestfs has no means to set an explicit initiator IQN for iSCSI connections.  A default intiator IQN  ( incase of LIBGUESTFS-BACKEND=direct ) or a random IQN ( in case of libvirt backend ) is used for iSCSI connections. 
This creates problems when storage systems expect a preconfigured initiator IQN to be used while establishing iSCSI connections.

The underlying QEMU command has an option (`-iscsi initiator-name=<initiator-iqn>' to set initiator IQN string explicitly. But currently libguestfs has no option to set this parameter and pass it on to QEMU.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.26.3


How reproducible:

Use
guestfish -a iscsi://<target IQN> 
against a storage system which validates incoming connection against a preconfigured Initiator IQN


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Error while connecting to iSCSI target

Expected results:
Should be able to establish iSCSI connection with any Initiator IQN
