Add a Storage Volume as Block Device to Guest

Provision the Storage Volume

Create the storage volume with:

   virsh vol-create-as

Configure the Guest to Mount the Storage Volume at Boot

Use virsh attach-disk as shown in the example, by specifying the file-based storage volume path, as shown by the virsh vol-list command, and the device name under which the disk is exposed to guest, typically "vdX", where X is "a", "b", etc.
