Access to targetcli utility is completely forbidden upon creation of invalid wwn
Issue
- Can not delete invalid WWN created in targetcli.
- targetcli does not allow to modify targetcli configuration after creation of invalid wwn
Targetcli
adds system host name in the automatically generated iSCSI wwn names. If the system hostname has_
orBlank space
then it is treated as invalid iqn/wwn name.
