📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe populator now supports temporary eviction and restoration of conflicting NVMe connections during SCSI XCOPY mapping. Pure Storage implements this workflow through new connection APIs. Development builds skip remote script-version validation. ChangesProtocol conflict handling
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change temporarily unmaps conflicting Pure Storage host connections during copy-offload, but current error paths can leave earlier hosts disconnected or report success when restoration fails. That can cause workloads to lose storage access and hide incomplete cleanup, so the PR is not merge-ready until both failure paths are corrected and tested.

Fail the operation when restoration fails after a successful clone.
This deferred cleanup only logs errRestore. If ExecuteCloneTask succeeds, errFinal remains nil, and the caller receives success even when an evicted host was not reconnected.
If errFinal is nil, assign a wrapped restoration error to it. Add a unit test for a successful clone followed by a failed ConnectHost.
Proposed fix
if errRestore := resolver.RestoreConflictingConnections(lun, mappingContext); errRestore != nil {
cleanupLog.Info("failed to restore evicted connections during cleanup", "lun", lun.Name, "err", errRestore)
+ if errFinal == nil {
+ errFinal = fmt.Errorf("failed to restore evicted connections: %w", errRestore)
+ }
}As per path instructions, propagate errors and add unit tests.

Restore hosts when a later eviction fails.
If one disconnect succeeds and a later disconnect fails, this function returns before it stores evicted in mappingContext. Populate then returns before it installs its cleanup defer. The earlier hosts remain disconnected.
Record only successful disconnects. If a later disconnect fails, reconnect all earlier hosts before returning the error. Do not add an already-absent connection to the restoration list.
Add a unit test with two NVMe hosts where the second disconnect fails.
As per path instructions, manage resource lifecycles, propagate errors, and add unit tests.

Closes #8307
This is a workaround to allow cross protocol migrations to use copy offload on Pure storage, e.g.:
iSCSI on VMware -> NVMe-oF on Kubernetes
It has only been implemented for Pure Storage as that's all I have available to test with and I'm not sure if other SANs have the same mixed protocol limitation.
It achieves this by unmapping hosts using another protocol from a PVC before mapping itself so there is not mixed protocols attached to a volume at the same time. Then remaps the other hosts after the copy is complete and it has unmapped itself.
I don't necessarily expect this to be merged as it is somewhat of a hack, but sharing in case it's useful or you can come up with a more elegant solution.
