Mark,
I was reading up on some previous correspondence regarding how
iSCSI traffic should be sent via a separate VLAN. I'm trying to figure
out the use case for said scenario. Is the idea that iscsi traffic is
run over a separate VLAN interface (created using the VLAN id from the
VLAN header for iSCSI configured on the switch) but with the priority
group pulled from DCBX ? The set_dcb_priority() calls upstream seem to
suggest this approach. Or were u suggesting that open-iscsi create some
sort of internal VLAN for explicit DCB use ?
