As stated in the other mail, I guess we would need to have a check
if the LUN is in ALUA mode.
And, btw, the _original_ intention was to allow vendor-specific
device_handler to do some better probing, eg querying some
vendor-specific VPD pages.
Especially for RDAC it would make far more sense to query the
existence and format of one of the RDAC-specific VPD pages (eg 0xC2,
0xC4, or 0xC8) and use that for matching.
Then you could do away with the vendor/model array altogether here
and we wouldn't need to update the rdac handler every time a new
array comes out or has been rebranded by some OEM.
OK. I will add the check for TPGS. I will send the patches tomorrow.
For sending the VPD pages(0xC2, 0xC4 and 0xC8), I think we need be

I will investigate more on that. That will be my next set of patches

Fair enough.
As long as it's understood to be an interim solution, then we would
only need to check for the TGPS bit.
Which has the neat side-effect that we don't actually have to do any
I/O to check this, as the information is already present at that time.
While you're at it, could you please add this check for scsi_dh_emc,
too?
The Clariion is also able to run in dual-mode, so the same check is
required there, too.
Cheers,
Hannes
