rdac hardware handler assumes that there is one-to-one relation ship
between the host and the controller w.r.t lun.  IOW, it does not
support "multiple storage partitions" within a storage.

Example:
HBA1 and HBA2 see lun 0 and 1 in storage A (1)
HBA3 and HBA4 see lun 0 and 1 in storage A (2)
HBA5 and HBA6 see lun 0 and 1 in storage A (3)

luns 0 and 1 in (1), (2) and (3) are totally different.

But, rdac handler treats the lun 0s (and lun 1s) as the same when 
sending a mode select to the controller, which is wrong.

This patch makes the rdac hardware handler associate HBA and the
storage w.r.t lun (and not the host itself).

This doesn't apply;

patching file drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_rdac.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 158 (offset 9 lines).
Hunk #2 FAILED at 381.
Hunk #3 FAILED at 389.
Hunk #4 FAILED at 403.
Hunk #5 FAILED at 526.
4 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_rdac.c.rej


it looks like there's a missing intermediate patch somewhere, can you
check scsi-misc and tell me what it is?

Thanks,

James

Oops. Sorry. By mistake sent an earlier version. Will send the correct
version.
