RE: iSCSI: "Wedge" drivers

[Black_David@emc.com]

Hunt groups are unimplemented for the most part.  Common
Fibre Channel implementations do not currently support
link aggregation to endpoints.  The usual solution to
multiple links between servers and storage is a
"wedge" driver using multiple SCSI over Fibre Channel
connections.
