    Multipath pools

    +

    + This provides a pool that contains all the multipath devices on the + host. Volume creating is not supported via the libvirt APIs. + The target element is actually ignored, but one is required to appease + the libvirt XML parser.
    +
    + Configuring multipathing is not currently supported, this just covers + the case where users want to discover all the available multipath + devices, and assign them to guests. + Since 0.7.1 +
