Um, if it isn't possible to do this with the native driver, then I
guess I will have to go with additional software.
However, failover is supposed to be an available feature of the
QLogic driver, and I shouldn't have to use anything added on. I'm
just trying to understand why the feature appears to be removed from
the kernel module provided by Red Hat.
Thanks,
