Hello All, ---------------- This is a resend of the patches sent on 09/01/2010: http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/stgt/2010-September/004082.html I added changes based on Tomo's suggestions. ---------------- Currently, when a initiator tries to login to a target it can be redirected to a different portal. But, Redirect portal is static. i.e the user has to define the redirect portal for a target and _all_ the login requests for that target will be redirected to the specified portal. In order to provide load balancing capability, it will be better to have "dynamic redirection". This is envisioned as: - user defines an external program that takes initiator's address (in ipv4 or ipv6 format) - user defines a "RedirectCallback" parameter for a target # tgtadm --op update --mode target --tid 1 --name RedirectCallback \ --value /usr/local/bin/redirect - When a initiator tries to login to target tid, user defined program will be invoked with the target name and the initiator's ip address and it is expected to return a triplet defining the redirect portal, in the format of "string_addr:string_port:string_reason" example: "10.0.0.51:860:Temporary" - Initiator will be redirected to the portal returned by the user defined program. Following set of patches provide the feature. Please review and provide your comments.
