Hi
I was wondering if there's a special reason why not to support preconfigured initiator nqn from a file.
(similar to iscsi in /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi).
For example libvirt iscsi volume driver in nova in openstack, uses the iscsi file to retrieve the initiator name and send it
To cinder to allow access.
We thought it would be required to support nvmf in the same manner.
Thanks

It was raised on the list just last week. I think Jay
has (of was :)) volunteered.

Its definitely useful and easy enough to do. You are welcome to send
a patch to nvme-cli ;)

I was going to do it, but I was waiting for a reply on confirming what
behavior people wanted to see:
"So is the request to have nvme-cli use whatever is in
/etc/nvme/hostnqn (if it exists) over the default in the nvme-fabrics
driver???So preference of hostnqn input would be:
1. --hostnqn flag
2. /etc/nvme/hostnqn
3. default hostnqn generated by nvme-fabrics driver (ex: nqn.2014
-08.org.nvmexpress:NVMf:uuid:a2d7752c-a31b-477a-a003-31a5e1c424a9)
(note 2. may contain a hostnqn different from the default)"
Gili if you are itchin' to do it, go ahead and give it a shot, just let
me know (or I can still do it w/confirmation to above). ?The discovery
fix I added to nvme-cli:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2016-July/005562.html
has been merged into the nvme-cli tool by Keith.

Hi
Sorry for responding late.
My original thought was that the nvme-fabrics driver will initiate the nqn from the file,
But your suggestion is also suitable and less complex.
Who is responsible for creating the file /etc/nvme/hostnqn ?
Maybe nvme-cli first installation ?
Thanks

Yes, I would say that if nvme-cli is told to use /etc/nvme/hostnqn and
the filename is not there for nvme-cli to create the file containing a
generated hostnqn per NQN naming standard in the NVMe spec.

Hi
I think the host nqn file should exist even before the first connection attempt, so
That a management software will be able to first configure the storage to allow connection from this nqn(with ACL).
The rpm spec can run a script during first install to take care of that.
Thanks

Sounds reasonable...
