Hi Christophe,
SGI TPC also has the notion of a preferred path; the switch-over to a
secondary path takes some seconds. So we should calculate a proper
priority for it.
Patch is against current git tree.
Sidenote: The default policy says still 'FAILOVER'. Shouldn't we switch
to GROUP_BY_PRIO now that we have a priority checker?
Cheers,
Hannes

Subject: path_priority for SGI TP9X00
This patch add the path_priority checker for SGI TPC storage servers.
They have a preferred path and one (or several) secondary ones. When
accessed from the secondary path the famous 'Auto Volume Transfer' takes
over, which switches this path to become the preferred one.
This whole process takes about 10secs, so we should be better select the
priority accordingly.
