To my knowledge DELL DB3000 is a rdac based storage. Hence, you need to
add a special device stanza to /etc/multipath.conf file.
--------
devices {
device {
vendor "DELL"
product "MD3000"
hardware_handler "1 rdac"
path_checker rdac
failback immediate
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
no_path_retry queue
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_tpc /dev/%n"
}
}
---------
Make the change, run "multipath -F" followed by "multipath" for the
change to affect your configuration.
What is your distro (RHEL or SLES) and what is the version ?
For SLES you need to replace the prio_callout line by
prio rdac
