Yes, you can see from this output that sdcp and sdn have a prio of 1,
placing them in the same priority group (which in sum have a prio of 2),
so the prio-callout definitely works as it is supposed to.  Everything
looks good, now you should try yanking some fibres (with lots of I/O
activity running) to make sure that it actually is able to handle a
failure scenario.  Good luck.
