Now if I understand correctly - because my device is not supported by scsi_dh_rdac - RDAC is not functional at all? Because later in the dmesg, it shows sd 1:0:1:0: rdac: LUN 0 (owned) sd 1:0:0:0: rdac: LUN 0 (unowned) which suggests that RDAC is working after all? Here is my current multipath.conf (Sbeaf_11 and Sbeaf_21 are iSCSI targets that work flawlessly): defaults { user_friendly_names yes } defaults { udev_dir /dev polling_interval 10 selector "round-robin 0" path_grouping_policy multibus getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio_callout /bin/true path_checker readsector0 rr_min_io 100 max_fds 8192 rr_weight priorities failback immediate no_path_retry fail user_friendly_names yes } blacklist { devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*" devnode "^hd[a-z]" } multipaths { multipath { wwid S_beaf11 alias controller0 path_grouping_policy failover path_checker readsector0 path_selector "round-robin 0" failback immediate no_path_retry queue } multipath { wwid S_beaf21 alias controller1 path_grouping_policy failover path_checker readsector0 path_selector "round-robin 0" failback immediate no_path_retry queue } multipath { wwid 3600a0b80002fcd18000014544a9166fb alias sas-xen } multipath { wwid 3600a0b80003abc5c00000b654a916617 alias sas-mysql } multipath { wwid 3600a0b80002fcd18000014514a9165b4 alias qd } } devices { device { vendor "SUN" product "LCSM100_S" getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_tpc /dev/%n" hardware_handler "1 rdac" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio path_checker rdac failback immediate rr_weight uniform no_path_retry queue rr_min_io 1000 } } And here is the multipath -ll: # multipath -ll qd (3600a0b80002fcd18000014514a9165b4) dm-0 SUN,LCSM100_S [size=100M][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=1 rdac][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=3][active] \_ 1:0:1:0 sde 8:64 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [active][ghost] controller1 (S_beaf21) dm-4 IET,VIRTUAL-DISK [size=3.4T][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][active] \_ 8:0:0:1 sdk 8:160 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 9:0:0:1 sdj 8:144 [active][ready] controller0 (S_beaf11) dm-3 IET,VIRTUAL-DISK [size=3.4T][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][active] \_ 10:0:0:1 sdh 8:112 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 11:0:0:1 sdi 8:128 [active][ready] sas-mysql (3600a0b80003abc5c00000b654a916617) dm-1 SUN,LCSM100_S [size=115G][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=1 rdac][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=3][active] \_ 1:0:1:1 sdf 8:80 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:0:1 sdc 8:32 [active][ghost] sas-xen (3600a0b80002fcd18000014544a9166fb) dm-2 SUN,LCSM100_S [size=21G][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=1 rdac][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=3][active] \_ 1:0:0:2 sdd 8:48 [active][ready] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 1:0:1:2 sdg 8:96 [active][ghost] -- | Jakov Sosic | ICQ: 28410271 | PGP: 0x965CAE2D | ================================================================= | start fighting cancer -> http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ | -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
