Title:
  [Suggestion] Supply udev script for create scsi disk symlink

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When nova-compute try to configure iscsi port (with iscsiadm command)
  to use a lvm cinder volume scan directory /dev/disk/by-path/ for a
  file with this name convention:

  ip-<target_portal>-iscsi-<target_iqn>-lun-<target_lun>

  Unlucky on gentoo/sabayon distro scsi device is visible as GENERIC
  SCSI DISK and so nova-compute doesn't continue bootstrap process.

  So, I create a bash script and an udev rule that resolve this issue.
  This bash script currently use lsscsi external program to retrieve lun
  Id (I don't known how retrieve this information directly through
  udevadm info or sysfs/proc fs) and others information for udev daemon.

  In attachment script that print string with same name convention used
  inside volume.py.

  Hereinafter an example of udev rule that use this script:
  KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_BUS}=="scsi", PROGRAM="/etc/nova/scsi-openscsi-link.sh %b $id",  SYMLINK+="disk/by-path/%c"

  I think that could be helpful insert this script and an example udev
  rule (in a file like openstack.rules.example) to help users that use
  openstack in different distro.

  My cent.
