15:27:32 <hillpd> Going forward, passing the cinder.conf "host" value to os-brick seems sensible. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be safe to backport this due to how the host value is used in existing deployments.
15:27:59 <hillpd> To address this in previous releases, we are considering the addition of a "[cinder-oceanstor]" config option, "use_host_fqdn" to handle this in the Huawei driver. Would that be a reasonable approach?

<whoami-rajat> hillpd, hey, I'm unsure how this would pan out. The code that establishes the connection via os-brick isn't part of the driver, so how would the Huawei driver utilize this config option? Are you suggesting we disregard the connector['host'] value and use the config option instead?

@hillpd, please respond here so that the conversation doesn't get lost. It would be even better if you could propose a WIP patch. This way, we can see how it fully functions and continue the discussion based on the actual code.

Thank you!
