I think that fits how we handle other objects like > targets that are setup automatically but are not yet usable (can't login > or reported in discovery commands) and devices we have setup but are not > reported in commands like REPORT_LUNs (technically you need to enable and > map them but you get the idea I'm going for). There is already an enable semantic. It is pg_pt_gp_id field. Until it (id) is not set the port group is treated as disabled and it is not reported in RTPG. But the default_tg_pt_gp is enabled by default and can not be deleted. The patch solves the presence of non-deletable empty default_tg_pt_gp in RTPG. May be, a global attribute like target/core/alua/hide_emtpy_tpg would fit better than an attribute per each port group? I would always hide the empty default_lu_gp (not configurable) but I am afraid that it will be considered as not backward compatible change. :( BR, Dmitry
