I wrote a bit about ALUA and how it works on the CLARiiON yesterday:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.devel/4366/focus=4435

I'm not completely sure how it behaves when using the ALUA hardware
handler compared to using no hardware handler, though.  Maybe Hannes
Reinecke can elaborate a bit on that.
