Hello All,
I am seeing many of these messages when my Sun 6140 array is under heavy I/O
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.
I am running a Fedora 10 server, with two fiber connections to two
different switches. Both controllers on the 6140 have one connection
to each switch as well. The end result is that I see four paths to
each LUN.
When the volume is mounted and under significant load I see the
messages above every few seconds. They seem to appear every
"no_path_retry" seconds.
The 6140 controller firmware is up to date at version 07.50.08.10 and
I have installed the latest firmware for my Emulex LPe11002 cards. I
have reproduced the problem using both Cisco MDS and Brocade fiber
channel switches as well.
Using CAM, I have set the initiator Host Type to "Linux" at the
moment. I have tried other options as well without success.
I have NOT installed the RDAC drivers from either Sun or LSI -
primarily because they do not seem to build on my Fedora 10 kernel.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!
configs and debugging multipathd output is below.
