Hi All,
I am trying to extend “iscsi” support for iSCSI driver, currently am stuck at getting
iSCSI target list from the hypervisor. I am using hostSystem object (propertyNameList is
set to “config.storageDevice.hostBusAdapter”) to retrieve list of “HostHostBusAdapter”
from ESX, but the call fails to perform “CastFromAnyType” from ObjectContent –>
HostHostBusAdapter. The esx_vi_generator.input object definition looks like this:
object HostHostBusAdapter
String key o
String device r
Int bus r
String status r
String model r
String driver o
String pci o
end
esx_vi_generaor.py is modified as follows:
"HostHostBusAdapter" : Object.FEATURE__ANY_TYPE |
Object.FEATURE__LIST,
Using gdb, I see the failure occurs at: esx/esx_vi.c:esxVI_List_CastFromAnyType(..) line
1631:
..
if (esxVI_AnyType_Deserialize(childNode, &childAnyType) < 0 ||
castFromAnyTypeFunc(childAnyType, &item) < 0 ||
esxVI_List_Append(list, item) < 0) {
goto cleanup;
}
..
In one of my earlier patches (subject: Add routines to interface driver) I patched
esx_vi_generator.py to deserialize “string list”; as the patch is still under review I
manually applied the branch to this branch but no change (did not expect change as
structure does not contain any list object). I am wondering what else is missing to make
it work.
Any suggestion how to debug/fix this issue is highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Ata
