Probably so, but the init script doesn't really work, so it's tough to 
say how well the systemd unit would.  There are order-of-operations 
issues; the init script does not seem to wait until discovery is 
complete, and even if it did, right now the system tries to mount 
earlier than it runs the init script.

The situation is somewhat similar to NFS except even more constrained; 
networking needs to be up before the init script is run, then after some 
undefinied amount of time I haven't figured out yet how to detect, the 
system will have discovered all of the paths and you can assemble 
devices and then you can mount.

My employer has HP FlexFabrics and I can test things, although we do not 
use systemd, so testing that would take me a while to get an 
audit-compliant testing system installed.  If you need something tested, 
let me know and I'll see what I can do.

HTH,
