Then before the error message regarding the path is already in the pathvec, I see the following: ...

I also recognized, when I just restart multipathd after above error, then sdb is immediately added to the path. I also tried combinations of other qla2xxx parameters to raise some timeout values..., e.g.: options qla2xxx qlport_down_retry=5 ql2xlogintimeout=30 ql2xloginretrycount=5 ql2xplogiabsentdevice=1 ql2xfdmienable=1 ql2xmaxqdepth=64 ql2xextended_error_logging=1 ql2xqfullrampup=180 but that did not produced any observable difference. so still no real solution, any idea what could block multipathd to add sdb to the path on first startup? kind regards Sebastian -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
