Now if I understand correctly - because my device is not
supported by scsi_dh_rdac - RDAC is not functional at all? Because
later in the dmesg, it shows 

sd 1:0:1:0: rdac: LUN 0 (owned)
sd 1:0:0:0: rdac: LUN 0 (unowned)

which suggests that RDAC is working after all? 






Here is my current multipath.conf (Sbeaf_11 and Sbeaf_21 are iSCSI
targets that work flawlessly):

defaults {
	user_friendly_names yes
}
defaults {
	udev_dir		/dev
	polling_interval 	10
	selector		"round-robin 0"
	path_grouping_policy	multibus
	getuid_callout		"/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
	prio_callout		/bin/true
	path_checker		readsector0
	rr_min_io		100
	max_fds			8192
	rr_weight		priorities
	failback		immediate
	no_path_retry		fail
	user_friendly_names	yes
}
blacklist {
	devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
	devnode "^hd[a-z]"
}
multipaths {
	multipath {
		wwid			S_beaf11
		alias			controller0
		path_grouping_policy	failover
		path_checker		readsector0
		path_selector		"round-robin 0"
		failback		immediate
		no_path_retry		queue
	}
	multipath {
		wwid			S_beaf21
		alias			controller1
		path_grouping_policy	failover
		path_checker		readsector0
		path_selector		"round-robin 0"
		failback		immediate
		no_path_retry		queue
	}
	multipath {
		wwid
3600a0b80002fcd18000014544a9166fb
		alias			sas-xen
	}
	multipath {
		wwid
3600a0b80003abc5c00000b654a916617
		alias			sas-mysql
	}
	multipath {
		wwid
3600a0b80002fcd18000014514a9165b4
		alias			qd
	}
}


devices {
	device {
		vendor			"SUN"
		product			"LCSM100_S"
		getuid_callout		"/sbin/scsi_id -g -u
-s /block/%n"
		prio_callout            "/sbin/mpath_prio_tpc /dev/%n"
		hardware_handler	"1 rdac"
		path_grouping_policy	group_by_prio
		path_checker		rdac

		no_path_retry		queue
		rr_min_io		1000
	}
}




And here is the multipath -ll:
