Ok. The nfs share with the vdsm group is working. But the intent is to
switch to iSCSI. The little bit of documentation about iSCSI mentions
nothing about vdsm or group 36. That gives me something to work with at
least.
Any ideas about how to clean up the mess left by the first attempt? I'm not
finding the records for botched domain creation in the engine database, but
the GUI shows them and complains that the iSCSI device is registered twice.

To be honest, I just asked from curiosity.
In NFS it's mandatory to use group 36, but this is the linux group.
I guess in TrueNAS it's something else, as I never configured group in
targetcli.
The flow is usually:
- Target server listens on multiple IPs
- Client makes discovery on a single ip
- client logs in (lsscsi is the simplest approach to verify it)
- Client discovers and logs on other IPs that the target server uses
- Multipath aggregates the links
As Multipath has a timeout of 20s while iscsi client uses 120s by default,
I usually change the client to use 15s timeout.
When a path (for eample 1 switch is dead) is down, multipath will try
another link to reach the target server.
It's nice there is a vdsm tool to configure those .
WARNING: Never set clients with the same IQN (defined in a file in
/etc/iscsi...somethig -> see with rpm -ql iscsi-utils)

I used group 1 because nothing said what group to use, and googling "ovirt
iSCSI setup" returned nothing useful so I picked a number. If there is
someplace that actually gives detailed instructions I'm going to bookmark
it when I get the link.
Yes, there is a storage network. There was a miscommunication and the
person attempting to create the connection didn't read instructions, so
they keyed in the main network ip, leaving a small mess for me to clean up.
The old truenas with nfs share is on the storage network and functioning
cleanly, and ovirt is able to see the iSCSI share on the storage network ip
address.
Thank you.

Did you configure a storage network on oVirt ?
About the size, why you use group '1' and not group '36' ?
