Add Toshiba AL10/12/* devices to mpxio sym list
0%
Description
I've been contacted by Toshiba asking what it would take to get their drives added to the symmetric mpxio whitelist.
I believe I will be receiving some units for qualification in either our lab or the lab of one of our partners. If the drives perform properly, then we should add them to the list of drives that support multipathing via mpxio.

This is so ancient as to be irrelevant now. We don't have any makes/models in that configuration file, and I think we probably don't want to start now.
What we should probably do is consider moving symmetric mode operation to the default, as nearly all SCSI drives today either support symmetric access properly, or indicate otherwise via TPGS.
We have hard coded exceptions where we need it.
Anyway, I'm closing this ticket.
