Dear all,

I'm trying to set up multipath on the same target across two hosts, however, since the tgtd version on each of the host is different, they're presenting different VPD INQUIRY and hence I could not set it up on vmware. Is there a way that I can disable "Designation descriptor number 3" on the newer version of tgtd? Thanks in advance.
