How can I change Vendor name LIO-ORG

How can I change Vendor name LIO-ORG

[Özkan Göksu]

Hello.

I couldn't find any way to change LIO-SCSI Vendor name which is shown
as LIO-ORG when we attached to client.
I do not want to re-compile kernel with the changing hard-coded Vendor name.

If there is any way to change it, please can you show me the way?

P.S: I'm so sorry to bother you with this out-of topic question. I'm
aware its not the right place to ask this question  but I could not
find any answer from anywhere. Please forgive me for this.

Best Regards.

This functionality was added recently via:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?idTa6f3f6a43cf5a5ad0421e4440a4c7095e7a223

With this change (and 2d882847280e3ae1ddc95175d0fc2006e11bb63f), you
can change the vendor ID via the configfs path at:
target/core/$backstore/$name/wwn/vendor_id

Thank you for the answer.

Currently I'm using "14.14.71-1-lts #1 SMP Thu Sep 20 20:14:07 CEST
2018" and I need to upgrade for this change.
I will upgrade my kernel and re-answer again.

Regards.

That doesn't look like a kernel version.

Excluding distributions with backports, you'll need a kernel >= v5.0.

Here you go:

# echo "APA-ORG" > 
/sys/kernel/config/target/core/fileio_0/shareddata/wwn/vendor_id
