Agenda topic proposal: SCSI referrals support has already been discussed at last year's LSF conference. However, the solution proposed there would not support failover and would require quite a lot of changes to multipathing. To enable failover it might be an idea to handle the LUN directly in multipathing. This would require eg: - request splitting - I/O alignment handling - SCSI unit attention handling I would be giving a short overview/presentation of the current state of the art, the shortcomings on the original proposal, and would like to invite a discussion on how to best support SCSI referrals.
