Actually I want to know the how hotplugging works under 2.6 and what is the
information flow and how a user can do this.
Secondly is it support PnP of iSCSI disks? If yes then it has support in
kernel or any patch is nedded? If no then what are the problems.

Thanks and Best Regards

It works the same, only better :)
Specifically what are you curious about? Have you read the
linux-hotplug.sf.net documentation?

Hotplug what? That's a _very_ general term. Hotplug CPU? Hotplug
Memory? Hotplug SCSI disk? Hotplug USB device? Hotplug keyboard?
Hotplug PCI device? Hotplug IEEE1394 device? Hotplug PCMCIA device?
The userspace /sbin/hotplug script? The linux-hotplug script package?
and so on...
They all work differently, as they are all different things.

I do not know anything about iSCSI, sorry. Try asking on the linux-scsi
mailing list.

This would involve the pci hotplug driver. On 2.6, look in
/sys/bus/pci/slots for the different pci slots (after you have loaded the
proper pci hotplug driver for your hardware.) To add or remove a card,
simply echo 0 or 1 in the power file in the slot that you wish to turn on or
off. I recommend using the pcihpview program if you don't like using echo,
as it is a gui driven program to do the same thing.
The FC-HBA portion is the same if it's hotplugged or not, no difference
there.

It should just be added, if the whole FC-HBA comes up. If you mean adding
another one later on, after the controller card has scanned the bus, I don't
know, ask the scsi people.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
Recently I came across a good document "Hotpluggable devices and the linux
kernel" by you (Greg Kroah-Hartman).
This document is based on linux kernel 2.4 series. Is there any same
document which descibe the working of kernel 2.6 series.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks and Regards
