I can see the only options we have for storage option is LVM /DIR /CEPH and ISO....is it possible to add ISCSI to the list...I have never worked with CEPH but looks like its a very good storage technology but for now i will stick with LVM just to speed up the process....is it possible to add ISCSI

I believe you will need to edit the XML directly to accomplish this. Check out this link: http://libvirt.org/storage.html#StorageBackendISCSI

thanx for the link , a really great source of information.I guess i will configure an lvm storage type for now and possible later on create a mirror of the lvm.then later on when my vm environment is now fully configured ,i will see if i can add a mix of creating CEPH ,NFS and ISCSI for backup storage

this is what i finally did , i configured 7 old desktop machines and installed linux on each server ..... and mapped the harddrives via iscsi to the VM host and formatted them via LVM ,i guess it will have to do for now
