Bug Description

nova-volume invokes the ietadm program, which is part of Ubuntu. However, on RHEL and SLES, ietadm is not there, instead they use tgtadm.

To make nova more portable, should probably abstract this out and support both ietadm and tgtadm.

The default nova.conf file included with ubuntu oneiric/diablo actually includes this:

"--iscsi_helper=tgtadm"

But, this seems to be a backport into the ubuntu packages:
