Description Cyril Plisko 2009-06-08 14:31:28 UTC
Description of problem:

MSA 1000 storage array can identify itself as Vendor ID "HP" or Vendor ID "COMPAQ". Multipath default configuration, however, only lists "HP" for vendor id.

IT can be beneficial to use regex similar to other HP/COMPAQ arrays to catch both variants out of the box.
