Re: LU Alias
All `sg_vpd --page=0x83` returns is the IQN: Device Identification VPD page: Addressed logical unit: designator type: NAA, code set: Binary 0x600144f0e431c9004fe3632f0003 Target port: designator type: vendor specific [0x0], code set: ASCII transport: Internet SCSI (iSCSI) vendor specific: iqn.1999-03.com.wiktel:01:krls1 designator type: Target port group, code set: Binary Target port group: 0x0 designator type: Relative target port, code set: Binary Relative target port: 0x2 I'm thinking that OpenIndiana/Illumos/COMSTAR/whatever-component isn't actually exporting this information in any way. -- Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.

Hey, Was working on something else and was thinking that I found what you wanted. sg_vpd --page=0x83 /dev/sdXYZ prints a vendor specific: id.

You have to use one of the sg utils tools to. Any examples? Huh. For some reason I thought we added support for this in lsscsi (http://sg.danny.cz/scsi/lsscsi.html) a long time ago. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if lsscsi uses information in sysfs, then it relies on something else to populate it (sysfs that is)? Would this not be the function of Open SCSI? I do not think it belongs in open-iscsi because it is not iscsi specific. You would want it for your FC devices too. It makes sense for a util like lscsi to do this because its job is to give you info about devices. But yeah, I remember why it did not go into lsscsi. I think it was because of the sysfs thing and Doug did not want users to have to be root. And you need to send a sg io to get the info. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.
