-objects-layout setup
---------------------
-
-As part of the full STD implementation the objlayoutdriver.ko needs, at times,
-to automatically login to yet undiscovered iscsi/osd devices. For this the
-driver makes up-calles to a user-mode script called *osd_login*
-
-The path_name of the script to use is by default:
- /sbin/osd_login.
-This name can be overridden by the Kernel module parameter:
- objlayoutdriver.osd_login_prog
-
-If Kernel does not find the osd_login_prog path it will zero it out
-and will not attempt farther logins. An admin can then write new value
-to the objlayoutdriver.osd_login_prog Kernel parameter to re-enable it.
-
-The /sbin/osd_login is part of the nfs-utils package, and should usually
-be installed on distributions that support this Kernel version.
-
-The API to the login script is as follows:
- Usage: $0 -u <URI> -o <OSDNAME> -s <SYSTEMID>
- Options:
- -u target uri e.g. iscsi://<ip>:<port>
- (always exists)
- (More protocols can be defined in the future.
- The client does not interpret this string it is
- passed unchanged as received from the Server)
- -o osdname of the requested target OSD
- (Might be empty)
- (A string which denotes the OSD name, there is a
- limit of 64 chars on this string)
- -s systemid of the requested target OSD
- (Might be empty)
- (This string, if not empty is always an hex
- representation of the 20 bytes osd_system_id)
