Cover letter [Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/8] scsi-disk: Active/passive ALUA support
Hi all,
here's now an updated version to enable ALUA and simplified active/passive multipath support for qemu.
This patchset relies on having _two_ block devices configured, and two SCSI disks pointing to those block devices with the _same_ 'wwn' property and unique 'port_group' properties. I know, this is a bit of a nasty hack, but I hope to add proper multipath support (with several SCSI devices pointing / linking to the same block device) in the near future.
It also implements a 'alua_policy', which allows for simulating an 'active/passive' multipath setup.
And for testing I've implemented a 'block_disconnect' HMP command, which simulates a link failure for the attached devices.
I wouldn't object if someone declares this a gross hack, but with it I can finally simulate real-life multipath failover and do some functional multipath-tools testing withouth having to recurse on using real hardware.
As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.
