Re: [OSR-devel] Setting the iSCSI Initiatorname

[Marc G. <gr...@at...>]

Hi Gordan, Michael,

@Michael: could you please sent this patch as attachement?

for me this looks like a general problem that could be not only related to the 
lefthand storage. 

Although I didn't have problems using iscsi at least this patch makes life 
with iscsi more configurable.

Besides as the iscsi-url we are using is and was never conforming to any 
standard I'll go with this and push it upstream. And it does no look like it 
would influence the standard behaviour in any way.

Regards and Thanks
Marc.
