• checker_name is required if you want path checking (default for NVME is NONE)
• for prio_name, multipathd will check if a path supports ANA and use it if supported, falling back to CONST otherwise. So setting CONST is only necessary if this autodetection yields wrong results for the array. I don't know if that's the case for OceanStor
• setting fast_io_fail is unnecessary for NVMe, we support it only for SCSI (like dev_loss_tmo), and this is unlikely to change any time soon.

@xosevp, what's the status here? I'm preparing a 0.9.0 submission. Do you need further input from anyone?

[xosevp]

DONE.
