In my original email, I pointed out that I didn't know how the NVMe over
Fabrics was doing addressing. If it were like SRP, then it wouldn't
work because the device GUID is part of the addressing scheme, so a new
device wouldn't automatically show as matching that address. If,
however, you use IP like iSER, then yes, I agree fully you can just test
the ability to route over the new device using the IP address and
restore if it works.
