Subject: generating a Linux WWN?
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2007 06:04:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46FB8024.8040807@garzik.org> (raw)
Is there an accepted way to generate a SAS address, when the adapter
does not supply one (NVRAM invalid or missing, etc.)?
Unless somebody complains, I was just planning to use
get_random_bytes(). But maybe Linux has an IEEE id we can use, to make
the practice a bit more legitimate and avoid stomping on others? Or an
IEEE id specifically designed for generated-address purposes?
Jeff
