On server startup xend start or a later xend restart needs approx. 30 min to
start/restart. Without attached FC devices xend start/restart needs only some
seconds.
server type: Fujitsu Primergy RX600-S5
The time gets lost in xen/xend/XendNode.py line 329 while calling
vscsi_util.get_all_scsi_device().
329 for pscsi_record in vscsi_util.get_all_scsi_devices():
330 scsi_id = pscsi_record['scsi_id']
331 if scsi_id:
332 saved_HBA_uuid = None
I think, in most cases we don't need all the PSCSI devices registered in
xend, but only a few of it.
So a good solution for this perforamce issue is to scan only the SCSI device
paths we need, controlled by a new option in xend-config.sxp.
I have made a patch to allow specification of scsi devices we need in xend
in the config file xend-config.sxp.
The new options pscsi-device-mask expects a list of device ids oder partial
device ids like the option of lsscsi, e.g.
(pscsi-device-mask ('<partial-dev-id1' 'partial-dev-id2' ...))
Without this option set in xend-config.sxp or if lsscsi is not support, all
device paths are process like today.
