Hello,
Is there any intention in supporting SLP (discovery) support for the
iSCSI target?
RFC 4018 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4018.txt) specifies this feature
in some detail.
I think it would be relatively easy to implement this, using for
example OpenSLP.
I have looked a bit at the code implementing iSNS, and it seems to me
SLP support could use the same general design as the iSNS code.
Am I correct in the following assumptions?
* A function slp_target_register, called at the end of
iscsi_target_create could be created that collects ACL information and
passes this to SLPReg (from OpenSLP).
* Simmilarly, a function slp_target_unregister, called at the end of
iscsi_target_destroy could be created to deregister.
* iscsi_target_update should call an 'update' function, for setting
SLP on/off.
* Code could possibly be shared with the iSNS feature, but this
requires changing a lot of the iSNS code.
If there is an interest in this, I can spend some time trying to
implement this. (If there isn't I can just write a wrapper script that
calls the slptool to register/deregister, I don't really need the ACL
features)
Any toughts and comments are appreciated!
Greetings,
Môshe van der Sterre
