I think you mean dm-multipath and not md RAID here..
dm-multipath with TCM's ALUA multipath code provides a fabric
independent (iSCSI, FCoE, FC, SRP, etc) method of path failover across
multiple target ports for LUNs with a matching IEEE Extended Registered
WWN.
ERL=2 is a fabric dependent method of performing iSCSI connection
recovery on one or more failed TCP connections, where outstanding I/O
can be implictly retried and/or explictly migrated (TASK_REASSIGN) to an
active connection without having to restart the iSCSI I_T Nexus, or
notify the client side multipath layer that a I_T nexus has been lost.
Their use is not mutually exclusive, and can be used together to
complement one another.
