Comment 5 for bug 1200800

Avishay, I am open to ideas. I would be fine with saying that qemu-img is required on the PPC systems, but I have gotten push back against that statement. If we aren't able to add a custom handler in Storwize/SVC or update the iSCSI layer to check the image type, how else can we avoid encountering the qemu-img problem?

Could we put a fallback in the iSCSI path that checks for the existence of qemu-img before trying to use it? In the case that it can't find the executable we then check the image type, if it is RAW we go on and avoid the failure? Would that possibly be an acceptable solution?
