Hi, In LIO FC target, has the Access and devices visibility management (LUN masking) function been implemented? Access and devices visibility management allows for an initiator or group of initiators to see different devices with different LUNs with necessary access permissions. If have not, do we have any plans? Regards Shuo -----Original Message----- From: Nicholas A.

I don't know If the > tcm_qla2xxx could create multiple targets for the same port? Multiple targets per port is accomplished with a FC switch feature called N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV). This allows multiple virtual WWPNs to be configured on a single physical FC port, each with it's LIO target configfs namespace residing under /sys/kernel/config/target/qla2xxx_npiv/$NPIV_WWPN/, et al. Support for tcm_qla2xxx/NPIV was added in mainline v4.1 here: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg25618.html and although information is pretty scarce how to actually use tcm_qla2xxx/NPIV, there was some discussion back in 2015 about how it currently works from an end-user perspective here: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/targetcli-fb-devel/2015-May/000157.html > Could we implement the group level access control?
