Hello,
i try to setup a multipath to a EMC Clariion Device with the following
infrstructure.
Kernel 2.6.10-rc3 and udm2 Patch.
I have one qla2310 Adapter "Firmware version 3.03.02 IPX, Driver version
8.00.00b21-k"
wich is zoned to SPA Port0 and SPB Port0 of the Clariion. So we have
two path to the LUN.
I setup multipath.conf with the following.
multipath {
wwid
3600601601b121200540b8c1caf4ad911
alias yellow
path_grouping_policy failover
path_checker emc_clariion
path_selector "round-robin 0"
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s %n"
}
device {
vendor "DGC "
product "RAID 5 "
path_grouping_policy failover
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
path_checker emc_clariion
}
When i start the multipathd i get the following table
yellow: 0 20971520 multipath 0 0 2 1 round-robin 0 1 1 8:64 1000
round-robin 0 1 1 8:80 1000
multipath -v2 -l reports
yellow (3600601601b121200540b8c1caf4ad911)
[size=10 GB][features="0"][hwhandler="0"]
\_ round-robin 0 [enabled][first]
\_ 2:0:1:0 sde 8:64 [ready ][active]
\_ round-robin 0 [enabled]
\_ 2:0:2:0 sdf 8:80 [ready ][active]
I can work with the device dd if=/dev/yellow of=/dev/null count=1000
works.
When i disable one port on the switch, or unplug the cable from the SP (
Clariion) the dd command goes to D+ state
and I get messages like this.
