Yes, multipath daemon was still running. In the meantime I've updated my
multipath tools to Hannes latest and greatest version.
It works...Hannes, can you please send your patches/findings
upstream...would be great.
Thanx.

One simple question. Did you observe if multipathd is (still) running ?
(when the port was enabled)

Hi,
I've setup an IBM z10 LPAR (mainframe server) with 2.6.30-kernel.
Attached to the System z10 was an IBM DS8000 storage server. 10x SCSI
LUNs were assigned to LPAR via two pathes:
Example:
36005076303ffc1040000000000001269 dm-9 IBM,2107900
size=1.0G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw

|- 0:0:0:1080639506 sdw 65:96 active undef running
`- 1:0:1:1080639506 sdt 65:48 active undef running
Special parameter setting: dev_loss_tmo=90sec; fast_io_fail_tmo=5sec
multipath tools: multipath-tools v0.4.9 (04/04, 2009)
device-mapper: device-mapper-1.02.27-7.fc10.s390x,
device-mapper-libs-1.02.27-7.fc10.s390x
When removing a remote port (disabling a port on the BROCADE FC switch)
one path failed.

Running "multipath" command will recover the failed path but that's not
way it should be...can somebody help to fix this? Why is the path not
recovered automatically?
