This is taken care of in the host by presenting to the host all LUNs from a host's NPIV vHBA. (Libvirt probably would be the one taking care of this, because QEMU may not have enough permissions). > Plus you don't _actually_ expose the FC host, but rather the WWPN of the > host presenting the LUN. > So how do you handle LUNs from different FC hosts on the guest? I'm not sure I understand. Neither I nor Fam know this stuff very well, but we are trying to do the same as Hyper-V (and other proprietary hypervisors too). > Overall, I'm not overly happy with this approach. > You already added WWPN ids to the virtio transport, so why didn't you > update the LUN field, too, to avoid this ominous LUN remapping? Is this your old idea of adding a separate target field to commands, in order to support 64-bit LUNs? That is separate, and most FC drivers only default to 16-bit LUNs anyway. > And we really should make sure to have a single FC host in the guest > presenting all LUNs. Yes, of course.
