Hello Mike,

The only nonstandard hardware that is required to run my test is a pair
of InfiniBand HCA's and an IB cable to connect these back-to-back. The
test I ran is as follows:
* Let an SRP initiator log in to an SRP target system.
* Start multipathd and srpd.
* Start a fio data integrity test on the initiator system on top of
  /dev/dm-0.
* From the target system simulate a cable pull by disabling IB traffic
  via the ibportstate command.
* After a random delay, unload and reload SCST and the IB stack. This
  makes the IB ports operational again.
* After a random delay, repeat the previous two steps.

If you want I can send you the scripts I use to run this test and also
the instructions that are necessary to build and install the SCST SRP
target driver.

Bart.
