I've got a FreeNAS 8 box that I made two iSCSI targets on, one for virtual disk storage, and another for ISO storage. I added both targets, but when I go to add the LVM for the ISO target, the GUI only gives me an option to use disk images? How can I use ISO images instead? Is there another method I could utilize perhaps?

Another thing I just noticed.... my targets don't seem to come online automatically after a reboot. They only appear when I click on storage in the GUI, my end goal is to put all of my KVM images on this target so I will need to enable it at boot time, how to accomplish?

Thanks in advance...

You can't store ISO files on iSCSI - you need a filesystem for that (nfs, directory).

They get automatically activated when you start a VM which uses them.
