Hi Jim,

Thanks for your report and patch.

Are your SCSI devices multi-path configuration?
If so, the configuration isn't supported by pvSCSI of XenAPI yet.

I added a small fix to your patch.  Could you send your Signed-off-by 
line?

Signed-off-by: Masaki Kanno <kanno.masaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Best regards,
 Kan
