Re: [Xen-API] xcp-xapi devscan.py kernel support

[Andrey <basketboy@xxxxx>]

It supposed that only one XCP host will be connected to that storage 
(ports P2000 zoning also configured only for that host). Also if this 
storage will be created as local (shared=false) other XCP hosts and 
background proccesses can access/collide to that SR anyway?
