Subject: iSCSI HBA needs to have a unique host id
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 15:26:36 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <009d01c3aa95$9d613b70$a0074d0a@apac.cisco.com> (raw)
Hi all,
The host id for iSCSI HBA does not remain unique with 2.6 linux
kernel. It keeps changing when iSCSI host is added and removed
dynamically. This is a problem for persistent device naming for iSCSI
devices through host id.
It would be good to maintain a database of already allocated host id's
for the existing hosts. This would render the iSCSI HBA to get the same
controller id, irrespective of loading/unloading the driver repeatedly.
Would like to know if there is any provision in 2.6 to achieve the
above?
thanks,
surekha
