No prob. Hey do you mind using your real name?
What particular component of RHEL6 doesn't support FC? I've built a 3.14.1 kernel and enabled the qlogic_tcm and qla2xxx drivers. I'm actually able to pass the qlini_mode disabled parameter to the driver (to run in target mode) as well, and it loads successfully (this threw a kernel symbol error during modprobe on the stock 2.6 kernel using the normal driver).
This... isn't the way RHEL is designed to be used. It's all about stability, not latest-and-greatest. Once you've replaced the kernel and userspace bits, you might as well be running Fedora. qla2xxx target is supported on Fedora.
Is it the targetcli (configshell/rtslb) tool/libs in the CentOS 6 repos that aren't recent enough? Or some other component? I guess what I'm asking is: is there some (unsupported) way I could hack around and get this running? I assume RHEL 7 support will be much better?
See above. RHEL 7.0 won't support qla2xxx fabric either. RHEL is a stable subset of upstream functionality. If not Fedora, how about Arch Linux?
And forgive my ignorance, but is there somewhere I could read the backstory on SCST vs LIO? I understand there is some debate over the two and I don't want to start a flamewar on the list, just educate myself on the backstory.
