But afer thinking more, I'd think it might be not good idea:
As far as I could understand, the requirement of the BZ wants a way to create/migrate a guest with NPIV. I'm goint to talk create first,and migration then.
The desire to assocaite WWNN/WWPN with a VM is just one part of a more general need to expand libvirt's SCSI support. Paulo started a design thread on the subject a month or so back which sort of converged into agreement: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01253.html Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
