I have created:

<pool type="iscsi">
<name>netapp</name>
<source>
<host name="172.16.103.200"/>
<device
path="iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.118046347:vf.88fa4694-0ba6-11dd-b8a9-00a09807592f"/>
</source>
<target>
<path>/dev/disk/by-path</path>
</target>
</pool>

But when I look in /dev/disk/by-path:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  9 May 14 12:35
ip-172.16.103.200:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.118046347:vf.88fa4694-0ba6-11dd-b8a9-00a09807592f-lun-0
-> ../../sdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  9 May 14 12:35
ip-172.16.103.200:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.118046347:vf.88fa4694-0ba6-11dd-b8a9-00a09807592f-lun-1
-> ../../sdd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  9 May 14 12:35
ip-172.16.103.200:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.118046347:vf.88fa4694-0ba6-11dd-b8a9-00a09807592f-lun-2
-> ../../sde

Something is present, thus the login was succesfull. How to get this to
work with the libvirt storage pool?

I have tried to change the target path. But it doesn't give me any output.
I'll now look in the C code to see what you are giving as command for this
list.
