iscsi tools: support hostnames in node mode
You can now pass in hostnames as the portal argument.
If you had:
iscsiadm -m node -P 1
Target: iqn.2008-09.com.meanminna:3
Portal: 20.15.0.12:3260,1
Iface Name: default
Then you can do
iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2008-09.com.meanminna:3 -p somehostname -l
and iscsiadm will match this.
For discovery mode we already support hostnames, but we do not support
mixing. So if you used a hostname for discovery:
iscsiadm -m discoverdb -t st -p somehostname -D
Then when you run other discovery commands you have to use the hostname.
iscsiadm -m discoverydb -t st -p somehostname -o update -n someval -v
val
will work, but
iscsiadm -m discoverydb -t st -p 20.15.0.12 -o update -n someval -v val
would not.
For node mode, you do not have any control what the target returns
(and it probably returns a address) but for discovery you can pass
in what you want, so I think this should be ok.
