Not supporting iSCSI would indeed be an issue for bare-metal instances. The
same basic issue exists for Ceph backed storage, although I've been
encouraging the cinder team to provide a capability of returning an iscsi

know as it might change the overall discussion regarding providing storage
for bare metal instances.
