I.e. it fails over once if the primary path fails. How far did you get it working? I didn't have time to figure out yet how it does the mapping setup via /etc/udev.d/block/ as suggested by Christophe on 11/26. It might depend on the SCSI-Devices you have, I get valid WWIDs only with "/sbin/scsi_id -g -p 0x80 -s" but that doesn't solve the problem of autodetecting yet. I got some beta packages from the upcomming SLES9-SP1 from SuSE-Support (multipath-tools-0.3.6, device-mapper-1.00.19 + appropriate kernel) but will/might have the opportunity to test it not earlier than next week. Novell/SuSE probably doesn't like publishing links of their beta packages but I assume they like that their packages are well tested- so you might call the helpful RSchmidt from SuSE Support or refer to ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ - and give some feedback.
