Subject: [PATCH] [BZ 161888] lsluns: fix flawed formatting of man page
From: Jens Remus <jremus@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Description: lsluns: Fix filter handling and documentation enhancements.
Symptom: lsluns lists all LUNs discovered in the FC SAN despite user
given filter(s) that do not match anything:
# lsluns -c 0.0.5080
No valid combination found for adapter '0.0.5080'. Removing
from resource list.
No valid parameters left, using all available resources in
system.
Scanning for LUNs on adapter 0.0.5090
...
lsluns prints the message "No valid combination found for
{adapter|port} '...'. Removing from resource list." for every
adapter and port filter that does not contribute to the final
filtered results.
The formatting of the lsluns (8) man page is flawed.
lsluns is used in unexpected or even unsupported ways.
Problem: Scanning can be resource consumptive. So if a user already wants
to filter, possibly to reduce resource consumption, he does not
want to happen to scan everything and thus consume the worst case
of resources.
The message "No valid combination found for {adapter|port} '...'.
Removing from resource list." is potentially confusing. It is
unclear which combination is being referred to, especially if
only one single adapter or port filter was specified. There is
also no differentiation whether the denoted adapter or port
exists for its own or not. It just does not exist in the final
filtered results.
The formatting of the lsluns (8) man page is flawed.
The lsluns usage text and lsluns (8) man page lack the
information on the intended use cases, requirements, and
restrictions.
Solution: Print a message and exit when all filters match nothing.
Do not print confusing messages when a filter matches nothing.
Fix man page formatting.
Enhance usage text and man page. Clarify discovery use case,
relation to NPIV and to zfcp auto LUN scan. Point out
IBM Storwize configuration requirements. Document restriction to
zfcp-only systems.
Reproduction: Use lsluns and specify adapter bus-ID and/or target port WWPN
filter(s) that do not match anything. Either specify inexistent
bus-IDs and/or WWPNs or invalid filter arguments.

Upstream-Description:
lsluns: fix flawed formatting of man page
The formatting in the SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS, and EXAMPLES sections was flawed
in the lsluns(8) man page:
* The comma between short and long options were erroneously formatted in
bold, which would indicate to be typed exactly as shown. [see man(1)]
* The option parameters (e.g. adapter and port) were erroneously formatted
in bold instead of italic text (usually displayed as underlined on the
console), which would again indicate to be typed exactly as shown instead
of to be replaced with the appropriate argument. [see man(1)]
* Ellipses were missing after the the options that may be specified multiple
times (e.g. adapter and port). [see man(1)]
* Dashes in options in the SYNOPSIS and OPTIONS section needed to be
escaped. [see man-pages(7)]
* User input in example shell sessions should have been formatted in bold.
[see man-pages(7)]
Correct formatting based on man(7) and man-pages(7) man pages as reference.
Add proper spacing between options and their surrounding square brackets and
between the three periods of ellipses.
