Hi Gleb,

That would be exactly what I'd need. And indeed it appears to be broken:

HBA:
root@fcvtl:/sys/kernel/scst_tgt/targets/qla2x00t# cat 
21\:00\:00\:24\:ff\:2f\:90\:5e/hw_target
1    <= correct

vport:
root@fcvtl:/sys/kernel/scst_tgt/targets/qla2x00t# cat 
50\:38\:71\:cb\:ab\:00\:00\:00/hw_target
1    <= Not really..

Thanks in advance for looking into this!
Rob
