[dm-devel] [PATCH] multipath-tools: make HUAWEI/XSG1 config work with alua and multibus

[Xose Vazquez Perez]

And add recommended no_path_retry and pgfailback values.

Info from:
- RHEL https://download.huawei.com/edownload/e/download.do?actionFlag=download&nid=EDOC1100113070&partNo=6001&mid=SUPE_DOC&_t=1612885511000
- SLES https://download.huawei.com/edownload/e/download.do?actionFlag=download&nid=EDOC1100117892&partNo=6001&mid=SUPE_DOC&_t=1612885538000

- without HyperMetro:
vendor "HUAWEI"
product "XSG1"
path_grouping_policy multibus
no_path_retry 15

- with HyperMetro:
vendor "HUAWEI"
product "XSG1"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
prio alua
failback immediate
no_path_retry 15

ALUA is only used with HyperMetro(cluster of two arrays).
