The iscsi pool type supports only open-iscsi using iscsiadm.

However, libvirt's scsi pool type supports any scsi adapter.  If the 
qlogic card looks like any other HBA to the OS, the scsi pool type can 
be used to discover the volumes available through it.  See:

http://libvirt.org/storage.html#StorageBackendSCSI

The configuration of the card will have to be done by means outside libvirt.
