generating a Linux WWN?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there an accepted way to generate a SAS address, when the adapter does not supply one (NVRAM invalid or missing, etc.)?

Unless somebody complains, I was just planning to use get_random_bytes(). But maybe Linux has an IEEE id we can use, to make the practice a bit more legitimate and avoid stomping on others? Or an IEEE id specifically designed for generated-address purposes?
