iSCSI HBA needs to have a unique host id: msg#00207

Subject: iSCSI HBA needs to have a unique host id
Hi all,

   The host id for iSCSI HBA does not remain unique with  2.6 linux
kernel. It keeps changing when iSCSI host is added and removed
dynamically. This is a problem for persistent device naming for iSCSI
devices through host id.

It would be good to maintain a database of already allocated host id's
for the existing hosts. This would render the iSCSI HBA to get the same
controller id, irrespective of loading/unloading the driver repeatedly.
 
Would like to know if there is any provision in 2.6 to achieve the
above?

thanks,
surekha
