  I do not need to boot from SAN but I need failover, not multipath (load
balancing) support. That's because HP MSA1500 does not support multipath.
And mdadm does not support such functionality yet.

  So I filled support case in Red Hat website and downloaded beta 8.0 driver
from Qlogic site. :)

  And we'll see how Red Hat will respond to support case.
