[ovirt-users] Ovirt 3.6 to 4.2 upgrade

[Gary Lloyd]

Hi Yaniv

We attempted to share the code a few years back, but I don't think it got
accepted.

In vdsm.conf we have two bridged interfaces, each connected to a SAN uplink:

[irs]
iscsi_default_ifaces = san1,san2

And here is a diff of the file
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/ vs the original for
vdsm-4.20.17-1
:

<         #iscsi.addIscsiNode(self._iface, self._target, self._cred)
<         #timeout = config.getint("irs", "udev_settle_timeout")
<         #udevadm.settle(timeout)

<             #for ifaceName in ifaceNames:

<                       pass
<                     elif success:
<                       self.log.debug("Already succeded on an interface,

<                       pass
<                     else:
