Re: RH 4 and HSG80

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I don't have /sbin/mpath_prio_hp_sw. I have other mpath_prio files but not the hp one. I guess that means I need a newer version of multipath-tools. How can I upgrade to the latest version?

I have no access to HSGs but maybe this generic statements (plus some wisdom from hwtable.c) helps:

First, you are actually forcing multipath-tools to use all paths by stating "multibus" in you multipath section. Everything you put there will replace the defaults and the device sections. Just be minimalistic there. In the latest multipath-tools code there actually is a configuration for "DEC"/"HSG80". From this, does the following
multipath-conf help you?

defaults {
        rr_min_io                       64
        user_friendly_names     yes
}

                alias   disk1
        }
        multipath {
                wwid    360001fe1000d85f0000393413976024b
                alias   disk2
        }
}

devices {
        device {
                vendor                  "DEC"
                product                 "HSG80"
                path_grouping_policy    group_by_prio
                prio_callout            "/sbin/mpath_prio_hp_sw /dev/%n"
                hardware_handler                "1 hp_sw"

I trying to setup multipathing with HSG80s on a Redhat 4 update 5 host. I have it mostly working, the problem I'm having is that the 2 disks I've created on the HSGs only go through one controller. I set the preferred path for each disk to use a different controller but dm always

sets them to go through just one. I also can't find a way to move a disk

to the other controller, I thought multipathd -k switch would work but it doesn't. Does anyone have RedHat4 and HSG80s working properly with multipathing? Here is my multipath.conf file and multipath -ll output:
