Questions regarding the two iSCSI name formats.
Are there advantages and disadvantages for the IQN and EUI name formats
defined in the iSCSI specification? Should one format be preferred over the other?
Is it possible that the EUI names could be preferred in environments with switches
that connect Fibre Channel and iSCSI networks? Could the iSCSI EUI be used as
part of a WWN for Fibre Channel in such an environment? If it is unforeseeable at
this time whether one format has any advantage over the other, should it be
possible to have an iSCSI device that can be identified by either name format? Perhaps
the name format to use would be something configurable by the user, but only
one name format would be used at a time.
Thanks,
