RE: path priorities on Sun's 6140

Thanks for getting back to me Tore, Hannes, and Eckebrecht.

I've downloaded and installed the latest device-mapper-multipath rpm
from Redhat. It's still only beta but I figured I give it a try. I see
that there's an rdac checker in there but I don't see a hardware
handler.

Is anyone running RHEL against a Sun 6140 SAN? Trying to get a
definitive answer from Redhat on their support for this SAN has been
impossible. The mailing list hasn't been too helpful either.

If RDAC is the way to go
  1. do I need to use a hardware handler? There doesn't seem to be one
in their latest RPM.
  2. What Host type do I chose on the SAN?
  3. What should the path grouping policy by? Tore: you mentioned using
group_by_serial
  4. What should the path checker be?

I'm going to take a stab at it and guess this, can anyone confirm?:
/etc/multipath.conf
