Revision 449a137846c84829a328757cd21fd9ca65c08519 authored by Nicholas Bellinger on 09 October 2016, 00:26:44 UTC, committed by Nicholas Bellinger on 20 October 2016, 04:22:32 UTC
This patch addresses a bug where EXTENDED_COPY across multiple LUNs
results in a CHECK_CONDITION when the source + destination are not
located on the same physical node.

ESX Host environments expect sense COPY_ABORTED w/ COPY TARGET DEVICE
NOT REACHABLE to be returned when this occurs, in order to signal
fallback to local copy method.

As described in section 6.3.3 of spc4r22:

  "If it is not possible to complete processing of a segment because the
   copy manager is unable to establish communications with a copy target
   device, because the copy target device does not respond to INQUIRY,
   or because the data returned in response to INQUIRY indicates
   an unsupported logical unit, then the EXTENDED COPY command shall be
   terminated with CHECK CONDITION status, with the sense key set to
   COPY ABORTED, and the additional sense code set to COPY TARGET DEVICE
   NOT REACHABLE."

Tested on v4.1.y with ESX v5.5u2+ with BlockCopy across multiple nodes.
