Add bind by initiatorname
You can now setup the initiator to use multiple initiatornames
which may come in handy for virtualization.
To setup a iface with inames do:
iscsiadm -m iface -o new -I iname0
iscsiadm -m iface -I iname0 -o update -n iface.initiatorname -v "your new name"
Then you can bind and use the interface like you would before.
QUIRK:
Because you can pass in multiple ifaces to the discovery command we
use the default initiator name in /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi for
the discovery session.
node.transport_name is no longer supported. In the next patches you
will be able to use the default ifaces for these transports.
