Like the subject says, has anyone gotten this to work? Our hardware
configuration is an IBM blade chassis with LS20 blades running RHEL4
Update 2 x86_64. Each blade is equipped with two internal SCSI drives
mirrored via a LSI 53C1030 RAID controller. Fiber channel connectivity
is through a dual port Qlogic QLA2312 adapter and Qlogic 5202
switches. Two independent SAN fabric's are used. The DS400 disk
arrays are equipped with two controllers in an active/passive A/B
configuration. For now, the passive controller is zoned out to
simplify debugging. Each controller has two FC interfaces configured
as follows:
----[ Initiator 'blade6_FC0' ]------------------------------------------
WWN: 21000011259350e8
Name: blade6_FC0
ID: 0
Port access:
Port A0 Port A1 Port B0 Port B1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
YES NO YES NO
LUN Mappings:
LUN logical [Capacity]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 Device-1 [683.48GB]
1 Device-2 [683.48GB]
----[ Initiator 'blade6_FC1' ]------------------------------------------
WWN: 21000011259350e9
Name: blade6_FC1
ID: 2
Port access:
Port A0 Port A1 Port B0 Port B1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO YES NO YES
LUN Mappings:
LUN logical [Capacity]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 Device-1 [683.48GB]
1 Device-2 [683.48GB]
The two san fabrics are completely independent so with this
configuration there should be two paths to each logical device. fdisk
-l yields the following:

Instructions seem relatively simple (comment out everything from
/etc/multipath.conf, run multipathd and everything should work).
Because /dev/sda is not a multipath device, we use the following
/etc/multipath.conf:
devnode_blacklist {
devnode "^(sda)[0-9]*"
}
Running for x in sdb sdc sdd sde ; do echo -n "Device $x " ;
/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/$x; done returns the following:
Device sdb 20000d12671dd29cd
Device sdc 20000d12671dd29ce
Device sdd 20000d12671dd29cd
Device sde 20000d12671dd29ce
So it looks like sdb and sdd refer to the same volume as do sdc and
sdd. After enabling and running multipathd, multipath -v2 returns
nothing. Running multipath -v3 returns the following:

Based on recommendations from Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net we've tried
changing path_grouping_policy to group_by_serial and path_checker to
tur. Neither had any effect. Any ideas what to look at next? -- Jeff
