Hello,

Are you using multipathing?  If so, you can create an alias using the
WWID for the iscsi volume.  For example, you can add a section in
/etc/multipath.conf like the following:

multipaths {
        multipath {
                wwid                    THE_VOLUMES_WWID
                alias                   THE_PERSISTANT_NAME_YOU_WANT
                OTHER_OPTIONS_GO_HERE
        }
}
