The auto-generated WWN comply with the new addressing schema of WWN:

We choose hex 5 for the first nibble. And use Qumranet's OUI
(00:1A:4A) as the 3-byte vendor indentifier. The last 36 bits
are auto-generated.

ACK.  It looks a lot shorter than v4, which is a good thing :)


Maybe I miss something here because I didn't follow the whole version
history, but doesn't this result in using Qumranet's OUI for all
generated WWN's in libvirt, also for ESX and Hyper-V (assume the
drivers would support node devices yet) that might use different OUIs?
Or do I misunderstand this?


Yeah, that's strange to see Qumranet's in ESX or other else
environment, I created v6 to choose OUI according to the
underlying hypervisor driver. Thanks for pointing it out.

Osier
