Targetcli mappings

Wherein we configure the gateway between a Ceph RBD and a Fibre Channel LUN.

Assumptions:

• Fibre Channel fabric switch(es) are zoned appropriately
• Gateway machine already has an RBD attached for use by the SCSI target subsystem
• The gateway machine has a Qlogic HBA card installed and the module was given the qlini_mode=disabled or qlini_mode=dual arguments.
• The initiator machine has an HBA that is not hardwired to target mode.

At this point, there is a block device waiting to be attached to the SCSI target interface. So let's configure a target port, attach that backing device to the target port, and create an ACL that lets the client server see that LUN.
