It has been some time since we updated our PURE FlashArray configuration. The
Linux vendors that we had been seeing in the field were using very old versions
of multipath-tools, so we haven’t needed to change anything for some time. With
the release of RHEL8, some of our earlier values have been lost by upstream
changes.

Resend it, with CC: Christophe Varoqui <christophe.varoqui@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In addition we have our Active Cluster feature which leverages ALUA since our
last patch. The ALUA confguration will work for all FlashArrays with or without
Active Cluster.

We are changing 3 things.

1. ALUA support

2. Fast fail timeout from the default of 5 seconds to 10 seconds (We need this
for our FC NPIV port migration).

3. Maximum sector size of 4MB. Some Linux vendors don’t honor the block limits
VPD page of INQUIRY).
