Luns mapped with host initiator type HP-UX not getting attached

[Navneet]

The device target returned for luns on the storage system with host type operating system as hp-ux will not be attached using ISCSIConnector in cinder. The device path is constructed using lun id as one of the components. The original device path returned by storage is having lun id in a specific hex format such as path - ip-10.xx.xx.xx:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-08.com.xxx:5481.60080e50003220a80000000052d80103-lun-0x4001000000000000 with lun id embeded in it. This would cause the attach call to fail with error like:

Exception: iSCSI device not found at /dev/disk/by-path/xxxxxxx-lun1.

Tried searching for the hp-ux behavior as more than one storage systems are returning the same available devices ending with hex-code but not much help. Raising the bug incase somebody has already used hp-ux as one of the host platforms with cinder.

Cinder is not currently officially supported on HP-UX.
