Re: [Xen-devel] Our pvSCSI split driver worked well on NPIV environment
Hi Aaron-san,
Thank you for your interests to our pvSCSI split driver. We believe
that there are a lot of situations guest domain would like to issue
SCSI command.
In the near future, we will post the new version of pvSCSI driver
described below.
- Integrate source code of pure SCSI functions and FC transport layer
functions
- Support reset function
- And fix some bugs
Thanks
