Hello Itamar,
The QEMU/KVM on IBM POWER does not support direct LUN disks (i.e. -drive
file=iscsi://ip_address/target/1), so this kind of device cannot be available on the
frontend.
Thanks,

i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure direct lun disks in ovirt are done
by the host doing the iscsi connection, and mounting the disk as a
regular block device to the guest?
