Hello, I have a system with Qlogic QLA2312 HBAs. System is running RHEL 4u4: [root@cpn-0 etc]# uname -a Linux cpn-0.chas1A.ucs2.net 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:27:17 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@cpn-0 etc]# rpm -qa | grep device device-mapper-1.02.07-4.0.RHEL4 device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-18.1.RHEL4 [root@cpn-0 etc]# Storage is EMC Cx500. Multipath.conf is at the end of the mail. I have tested the system by running I/O directly to multipath device file, e.g. like this: dd if=/dev/mpath/dm-0 of=/dev/null count=10000000 Now, when I pull the cable to cause path change, dd usually stops in the middle, and gives error message indicating I/O error. Any suggestions? - Petteri Heinonen [root@cpn-0 etc]# cat /etc/multipath.conf defaults { multipath_tool "/sbin/multipath -v0" udev_dir /dev polling_interval 10 } devnode_blacklist { devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*" devnode "^hd[a-z][[0-9]*]" devnode "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*[p[0-9]*]" } multipaths { multipath { wwid 360060160df651000a83bbca2f1eeda11 alias global_data path_grouping_policy failover no_path_retry fail path_selector "round-robin 0" failback manual } multipath { wwid 360060160df651000a2dac95713d1da11 alias global_sw path_grouping_policy failover no_path_retry fail path_selector "round-robin 0" failback manual } multipath { wwid 360060160df651000a93bbca2f1eeda11 alias global_log path_grouping_policy failover no_path_retry fail path_selector "round-robin 0" failback manual } multipath { wwid 360060160df651000445c248c15d1da11 alias global_backup path_grouping_policy failover no_path_retry fail path_selector "round-robin 0" failback manual } } devices { device { vendor "DGC" product "*" getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_emc /dev/%n" path_checker emc_clariion hardware_handler "1 emc" } } -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
