Re: [PATCH 2/2] scsi: storvsc: Add support for FC lightweight host.

Hi,

There is no way to issue a lip directly as the current client for this feature ( storvsc ) does not handle that request as a physical fc hba can. Storvsc only has two fc attributes exposed - port_name and node_name.

You can rescan the bus with the standard echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan.

Hi Cathy, out of curiosity: how does this relate to issue_lip operation? And how
to trigger manual scan with this patch?
