you mean multipath-tools (http://christophe.varoqui.free.fr/multipath.html)?
i suppose so, using the "group_by_tur" spreading policy. fortunately i
don't have any spare EVA to test, plenty of XP tough :)

excuse me, are you shipping (or at least supporting) a 2.6 kernel on
your SLES 8.0 product?

i hope so, but for this statement to become true we need some other
vendor to ship a 2.6 based 'enterprise level' distribution with proper
device-mapper implementation, and application vendors (that includes
HP and IBM) to adapt.
Anyway, i do not really believe securepath to be a viable solution(*), i
was enumerating possibilities.
(*) and hp suggests using qlogic 7.00.3 driver with internal failover
for use with their Serviceguard product.
