Well, OK, but your usage isn't quite optimal. The fibre channel transport class retains a list of ports per host, so your maintenance of an identical list in zfcp_adapter duplicates this. However, we can put this in for now and worry about removing all of the fc transport class duplication from zfcp later. James
