Hello, I try to reproduce a bug in VMware ESX using Linux target. My setup is the following: /> ls o- / .........................................................................................................................

[Targets: 0] I have one file sparse write back file which I present as LUN 10 over to different tpgs/portals. Currently both are active optimized, I want one of the two standby. I'm talking about ALUA states (TPGS). Looking at configfs I see that I currently have one default alua group and both tpgs are targets of that one group. So what is the best way under Debian 9 strech to create a second alua group, set it to standby and set one of the two tpgs to the new alua group while removing it from the default group? I googled and found tcm_node.py which apparently can do what I want, but it seems to be discontinued: (debian) [~] git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/storage/lio/lio-utils.git lio-utils.git Cloning into 'lio-utils.git'... fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported: /pub/scm/linux/storage/lio/lio-utils.git Is there another easy way to obtain what I want or can someone give me some clues, how to obtain what I want?
