[dm-devel] Path updation while controller is rebooted.

[Murthy, Narasimha Doraswamy (STSD)]

Yes, I am using an active active configuration.  All the paths are
displayed as [ready][failed] or [faulty][active].  Once the controller
comes back online, the subsequent path verification updates the status
properly.

Which SAN controllers are you using?  Are they active/active (like an
EVA8000) or active/passive (like an EVA5000)?

If they're active/passive, then the dm stuff isn't supported yet.
That's coming in U2.
