Hi, I am running an online/offline test. I have two paths to the controller. One is active and one is passive. When I fail (offline) the active path (sde 8:64), the Device mapper is failing passive path(sdf 8:80) as well leading to all path failure. Any ideas or hints? Here is output multipath -ll. I have only one lun. [root@localhost ~]# multipath -ll mpathie (3600a0b80000f6a7d0000cff048fed59c) dm-2 LSI,INF-01-00 [size=10G][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=1 rdac][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][enabled] \_ 3:0:0:0 sde 8:64 [active][undef] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled] \_ 3:0:1:0 sdf 8:80 [active][undef] Here is the detailed log.
