Package: open-iscsi Version: 2.0.873-3ubuntu13 Severity: normal Hi,
RFC 4173 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4173) documents a fairly compact mechanism for an iscsi target definition. Copied from http://ipxe.org/sanuri: | fmt of an iSCSI SAN URI is defined by RFC 4173. The general syntax is: | iscsi:<servername>:<protocol>:<port>:<LUN>:<targetname> Examples: iscsi:10.0.4.1:::1:iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.dolphin:storage iscsi:boot.ipxe.org::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.boot:public iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:msdos622-target iscsi:opensolaris.home::::iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:e9abf4cd-714b-c6ec-d017-eea5a56252ed For the first example there, the way that would be done in current parameters would be: iscsi_target_name=iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.dolphin:storage iscsi_target_ip=10.0.4.1 iscsi_target_group=1 It'd be nice if we could just: root=iscsi:10.0.4.1:::1:iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.dolphin:storage Note that RFC does not cover username and password, so that would have to be done outside the spec if needed. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers wily-updates APT policy: (500, 'wily-updates'), (500, 'wily-security'), (500, 'wily') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-16-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages open-iscsi depends on: ii libc6 2.21-0ubuntu4 ii udev 225-1ubuntu9 open-iscsi recommends no packages. open-iscsi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
