[ovirt-users] iSCSI and multipath

What do you mean by "having direct lun working" ? You already can, you need
to add to the first line of multipath.conf a comment to make it private
(don't remember the exact content) then you can set your luns in every host
as desired. The bad thing is that you'll have to replicate the file to
every host everytime you make changes. I did open an RFE in the past about
this... I don't remember for sure as I'm not active to ovirt since a long
time now.
