[pve-devel] [PATCH storage 0/1] Fix for ZFS over iSCSI on Solaris 11

[David Hedbor]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look at modifying the patch to work with
Illumos distribution (I have an OpenIndiana VM I can experiment with), as
well as moving the get_initiator_name() method to pve-common.

I’ll get back with updated changes in a little bit.

This is true and I guess it will never have that option.

As this is an Oracle Solaris thing and since Oracle deliberately does
not want to share with the community (Oracle Solaris is published under
a proprietary closed source licens) it is impossible to know the
direction. As is know adding the patch will break all other Solaris
offspring's for ever besides Oracle Solaris so the patch will need to
be able to handle both Solaris and Oracle Solaris.

To be able to detect this you would require access to an Oracle Solaris
installation. Maybe using uname could be a way?

This sounds like a good idea since initiator name is related to the
consumer and not the provider.
