I got a iSCSI target to work on my redhat with a USB disk to test
iSCSI storage pool and found below:<br>
<br>
1. When create a iSCSI storage pool, I selected a target in
dropdown list.<br>
2. Once the pool is created, I see a volume named 'unit:0:0:1'.<br>
3. When edit template, in the 'storage pool' dropdown,
'unit:0:0:1' is listed there.<br>
<br>
So 'unit:0:0:1' which indeed is a <b>volume</b> but listed as a <b>pool</b>
in template? or something I am misunderstanding?<br>

<br>
The "Storage pool" on Template represents where the guest disk will
be created.<br>
So if I specify "default" pool and size 10GB my guest will have a
10GB disk created on the default pool (under
/var/lib/libvirt/images, for example)<br>
<br>
But it is not true for iSCSI and SCSI pools.<br>
We call the iSCSI and SCSI pools as read-only because we can not
create new files on it.<br>
The volumes are pre-configured by the system. Because that while
using those pools you also need to select the volume as are
represented by <pool_name>/<vol_name> in the combo box.<br>
<br>
When a iSCSI or SCSI pool/volume is selected on Template the user
can not edit its size, as the volume already exists and has a size.<br>
