Errm. Not quite. My sources indicate that this machine
runs the older active/passive firmware, which requires
the 'hp_sw' hardware handler to run properly.

So better use this:
devices {
	device {
		vendor 		"COMPAQ"
		product		"MSA1000"
		hardware_handler	"1 hp_sw"
		path_grouping_policy	group_by_prio
		path_checker	hp_sw
 		prio_callout	"/sbin/mpath_prio_hp_sw /dev/%n"
 		getuid_callout	"/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
 		failback	manual
 	}
}

if mpath_prio_hp_sw is missing complain to Ben Marzinski :-)
Alternatively you can use

path_grouping_policy	failover

and omit the prio_callout altogether. But then only one path
per SP are used.

Cheers,

Hannes
