Honestly, it is just from a lack of understanding of what is happening when it does break (as it is for us when doing a hypervisor install on a fresh box). Normally, I can just dig through the stack and figure out what is happening. There are enough areas where I don't have some foundations that I'm not able to do so here (yet). For example, I don't quite understand iSCSI, Multipath, etc enough to know what is breaking, and why. I'm accustomed to being able to dig deeper at each level until I can generally see what is breaking. This confusion will go away as I get a bit more experience and have a "map" of what is going on on this level. FWIW, I started reading the Libvirt book previously mentioned and it's pretty straight forward. It looks like I just need to get through this enough to get a good foothold so that I can figure out how to either fix things when they break or point out properly why something is breaking (so I can get the appropriate help). > > Do you have some specific areas you would like to improve? > Actually, yes :) In: 1. Learn libvirt more (in progress)

3. Setup an iSCSI system so that I can make luns, build a system, play with storage pools this way
