Hi I've recently added an EMC CX3-80 ... And provisioned volumes to my RHEL4-4 running with multipath tools v4.7. I've added the recommend settings by EMC for the CX to the multipath.conf file (below) but I am seeing the following errors; devices { ## Device attributes requirements for EMC Symmetrix ## are part of the default definitions and do not require separate ## definition. ## Device attributes for EMC CLARiiON device { vendor "DGC " product "*" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_emc /dev/%n" path_checker emc_clariion path_selector "round-robin 0" features "1 queue_if_no_path" no_path_retry 300 hardware_handler "1 emc" failback immediate } } error calling out /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sda sdd: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sde: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdf: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdg: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdh: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdi: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdj: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdk: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdl: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdm: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdn: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdo: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdd: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdg: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdj: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdm: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sde: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdh: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdk: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdn: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdf: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdi: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdl: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" sdo: checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover" [root@ldm1066 log]# multipath -F I'm thinking this is a configuration issue on the CX ...
