Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 667661
[NetApp 6.1 Bug] Include new NetApp PID entry to the alua_dev_list array in the ALUA hardware handler
Last modified: 2011-05-19 08:23:04 EDT
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #667660 +++ NetApp has added a new PID "LUN C-Mode" for upcoming ONTAP releases. So please add this to the alua_dev_list array in the ALUA hardware handler. Refer http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=129426126516515&w=2 for details.
With upcoming improvements to the VID/PID string comparison in the device array list of the SCSI device handler, adding the above PID entry is necessary for the ALUA handler to properly recognize the new "LUN C-Mode" NetApp LUNs.

This request was erroneously denied for the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The error has been fixed and this request has been re-proposed for the current release.

This alua_dev_list patch is planned for 6.1. It is not necessary to put this in 6.0.z, because the upstream "improvements to the VID/PID string comparison" that make this patch essential are not planned for the z-stream.
Patch(es) available on kernel-2.6.32-112.el6
