In this particular case for ibmvscsis since we already know the target endpoint names from sysfs attributes, using a small amount of scripting code in lio-utils to automatically setup the endpoints for the user is really simple, and we still expect the user to define which backend devices from /sys/kernel/config/target/$HBA/$DEV will be configured as Port/LUNs for the fabric endpoint. --nab -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
