Yes of course. Certainly busy enough on this list these days :)
The specific feature I'm looking for support with is VMware VVols. VVols
will be a major game changer for the future of vSphere virtualization and
is supported by a huge number of vendors.
From a little Googling, it appears we would need to implement VMWare's
VASA 2.0 specification to interoperate, and it doesn't seem to be
publicly available.
Also, it is an out-of-band management API (i.e. its commands go via a
mechanism other than in the SCSI commands themselves) so even if we knew
enough to support it, it might be better implemented as a daemon layered
on top of the kernel target.
