- Use the <command>virsh pool-define-as</command> command to define a new storage pool. There are two options required for creating directory-based storage pools:
+ Storage pool definitions can be created with the <command>virsh</command> command line tool. Creating storage pools with <command>virsh</command> is useful for systems administrators using scripts to create multiple storage pools.</para><para>
+ The <command>virsh pool-define-as</command> command has several parameters which are accepted in the following format:</para>
+ <screen>virsh pool-define-as <parameter>name type source-host source-path source-dev source-name</parameter> <replaceable>target</replaceable></screen>
+ The type, <parameter>iscsi</parameter>, defines this pool as an iSCSI based storage pool. The <parameter>name</parameter> parameter must be unique and sets the name for the storage pool. The <parameter>source-host</parameter> and <parameter>source-path</parameter> parameters are the hostname and iSCSI IQN respectively. The <parameter>source-dev</parameter> and <parameter>source-name</parameter> parameters are not required for iSCSI-based pools, use a <keycap>-</keycap> character to leave the field blank. The <replaceable>target</replaceable> parameter defines the location for mounting the iSCSI device on the host.
