[Xen-users] Re: Xen, LV, ISCSI and Persistent Target

["storm66@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <storm66@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Another mean is to use the /dev/disk/by-path, the iscsi devices (XEN 3.1
on SLES 10 SP1). The "PATH" is made with IP,InitiatorName and name of
the LUN.
If no elements are changed the "PATH" stay the same.

Regards
