I've used both SCST and Lio for my Fibre Channel target, and I'm presently using lio only because it's a bit easier to manage server side, but I'm missing a few features, primarily descriptive identifiers on targets. Windows displays the following descriptor for a target disk: LIO-ORG FILEIO SCSI Disk Device OneCommand Manager simply says Vendor Name: LIO-ORG Product ID: FILEIO Revision: 4.0 So my question is 1.5-fold 1) Can I change these descriptors for LUNs/Targets? SCST displayed the backing device name. 2) If it's not yet implemented, Could you please make it possible in a future release? Seems a simple enough feature. I'm using the (tcm_)qla2xxx driver, fileio, and I've given my various backstores descriptive names like izanami.games and izanami.boot.<distro>, etc, to make the naming easier to remember, but as I someetimes forget what's what, it'd be convenient to be able to look at the clieent side and know which image on the server it corresponds to.
The backstore attribute "emulate_model_alias" needs to be set to 1 for each storage object (under /sys/config/kernel/target/core/<HBA>/<devname>/attrib/) and product ID will be set to the device name.
