I believe that feature was removed from 2.6.xx modules in favour of using device mapper multipath-tools. I believe that this is the supported path forward for linux and multipathing.

However, failover is supposed to be an available feature of the QLogic driver, and I shouldn't have to use anything added on. I'm just trying to understand why the feature appears to be removed from the kernel module provided by Red Hat.
