Success! I have poked and prodded and I'm not sure what got me over the last hurdle. The only substantive thing I did was copy /etc/modprobe.d/qla2xxx.conf to /usr/lib/modprobe.d and run "dracut -f" followed by a reboot. That shouldn't have fixed the kind of symptoms my last problem (no link seen on the initiator) was showing but the problem went away. Things have survived shutting down and rebooting several times now and I'm not seeing problems.
Actually it's not quite all working. When I try accessing the (unprepared) RAID, I get what appear to be read only type results/errors. This is identical to what I got using iscsi the other day with the same platforms. I don't expect it all to work until I patch target_core_iblock.c and rebuild the target module as Nicholas Bellinger so kindly pointed out is needed. That's a task for tomorrow.
At this point I am confident the LIO/TCM/FC target mode is working. Of course, if rebuilding the target module doesn't fix things I'll let you know but it's looking real good right now.
Thank you for all the help.
Whew, cool.
BTW if you get kernel-3.9.3 from the updates-testing repo that r/w issue should be fixed there.
