Now more complicated. Can I blacklist specific devices? My array is limited only
to 4 initiator-storage poll mappings (which are used to allow access to logical
disk X only from  initiator A). Unfortunately I have 5 hosts.

So I have 5 logical partitions on array (X, Y, Z, Q, W) and 5 hosts
(hA, hB, hC, hD, hE).
hA has access to X only,
hB to Y only,
hC to Z only
but hD and hE have access to both, Q and W. (Q meant for host hD, W
meant for host hE).
Totall 4 host -- storages mapping in use.

I need some way to prevent host hD from accessing storage W and prevent host hE
from accessing storage Q. Os level would be enough. This is only to
disallow silly
mistakes made by admin.

Is there a way on open-iscsi level to make host hD not see (or ignore)
storage device W? Some
other, kernel level, way would be enough, too.

Simplest what comes to my mind is simply "rm /dev/sdX" where sdX are
devices to the other host storage.


The iscsi/scsi layer does not have any type of LUN masking. There is only the manual interface:

echo 1 > /sys/block/sdXYZ/device/delete
