[ovirt-devel] Re: GetDeviceList and direct LUNs

Hi Nir, Thanks a lot for the response! It could be that I misunderstand what you say, but I am not sure about if making one "Refresh all LUN sizes" button is better idea than one button per LUN.

and huge amount of direct LUNs total. If someone resizes several LUNs at once, they are probably doing so from a script anyway and can make use of curl.

Specify the storage type and the WWN of the LUN, also knows as GUID in vdsm/engine. checkStatus must be False, it is needed only when adding a device to a VG. The resize is performed in sdCache.refreshStorage(), effecting all storage types and all devices, so you want to call Host.getDeviceList() once with the list of GUIDs to refresh, instead of once per GUID.
