Hi,
I am trying nvme over fabrics, and found this: nguid is set to 0s by
default for all devices.
So, nguid can be same (0s in this case) for multiple devices. Is this
valid ?
Also, same nguid for multiple devices could be set, by the above
scenario.
No errors/warnings from either the nvme initiator/target.
From spec, I see this:
Namespace Globally Unique Identifier (NGUID): This field contains a
128-bit value that is
globally unique and assigned to the namespace when the namespace
is created. This field
remains fixed throughout the life of the namespace and is preserved
across namespace and
controller operations (e.g., controller reset, namespace format, etc.).
