Subject: [PATCH] [BZ 161888] lsluns: enhance usage statement and man page
From: Jens Remus <jremus@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Description: lsluns: Fix filter handling and documentation enhancements.
Symptom: lsluns lists all LUNs discovered in the FC SAN despite user
given filter(s) that do not match anything:
# lsluns -c 0.0.5080
No valid combination found for adapter '0.0.5080'. Removing
from resource list.
No valid parameters left, using all available resources in
system.
Scanning for LUNs on adapter 0.0.5090
...
lsluns prints the message "No valid combination found for
{adapter|port} '...'. Removing from resource list." for every
adapter and port filter that does not contribute to the final
filtered results.
The formatting of the lsluns (8) man page is flawed.
lsluns is used in unexpected or even unsupported ways.
Problem: Scanning can be resource consumptive. So if a user already wants
to filter, possibly to reduce resource consumption, he does not
want to happen to scan everything and thus consume the worst case
of resources.
The message "No valid combination found for {adapter|port} '...'.
Removing from resource list." is potentially confusing. It is
unclear which combination is being referred to, especially if
only one single adapter or port filter was specified. There is
also no differentiation whether the denoted adapter or port
exists for its own or not. It just does not exist in the final
filtered results.
The formatting of the lsluns (8) man page is flawed.
The lsluns usage text and lsluns (8) man page lack the
information on the intended use cases, requirements, and
restrictions.
Solution: Print a message and exit when all filters match nothing.
Do not print confusing messages when a filter matches nothing.
Fix man page formatting.
Enhance usage text and man page. Clarify discovery use case,
relation to NPIV and to zfcp auto LUN scan. Point out
IBM Storwize configuration requirements. Document restriction to
zfcp-only systems.
Reproduction: Use lsluns and specify adapter bus-ID and/or target port WWPN
filter(s) that do not match anything. Either specify inexistent
bus-IDs and/or WWPNs or invalid filter arguments.
Upstream-ID: e748fff3479f8f4ae7e8262b4913f6d08ff78f66
Problem-ID: 161888
Upstream-Description:
lsluns: enhance usage statement and man page
The wording in the lsluns usage statement and man page was misleading
in several aspects:
* lsluns does not list all LUNs, just those discovered in the FC SAN
* lsluns -a should only be used to display the LUN encryption status
Fix filter option arguments. Clarify filter option usage. Refer to
lszfcp and lsscsi.
