This patch series adds storage type "mpdirect". Before using it, multipath-tools
package must be installed. After that, multipathd will create /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x*
devices, which can be directly attached to VMs via GUI. Partitions are ignored.
I'm not skilled in UI programming, so there's no storage addition via UI. Just add
mpdirect: STORNAME
content images,rootdir
to storage.cfg.
Because of usage of multipath, this plugin is media-independent:
it was tested with iSCSI, but should also work with FC and SAS/SCSI.
May need manual storage bus rescans to dynamically add new LUNs.
