+Optionally provide the parent scsi_hostN node device to be used for the
+vHBA either by parent name, parent_wwnn and parent_wwpn, or parent_fabric_wwn.
+The parent name could change between reboots if the hardware environment
+changes, so providing the parent_wwnn and parent_wwpn ensure usage of the
+same physical HBA even if the scsi_hostN node device changes. Usage of the
+parent_fabric_wwn allows a bit more flexibility to choose an HBA on the
+same storage fabric in order to define the pool.
