Hallo Yogesh,
I tried failover with two qla2342 and SLES9 yesterday - it worked fine
for me.
Hardware is a DELL 1850 and an HP EVA 3000.
In /etc/modprobe.conf.local I use these options for the qla2xxx driver:
options qla2xxx displayConfig=1 ql2xfailover=1 qlFailoverNotifyType=4 \
ql2xdoinitscan=1
I'm just having trouble to make the system see LUNs > 7 - there is a
thread in suse-linux-e.
