Any ideas on this? Not sure if this e-mail made it out to the list.

Thanks!

Here's the abbreviated output from multipath -v3:

mpath1: pgfailback = 120 (config file default)
mpath1: pgpolicy = multibus (config file default)
mpath1: selector = round-robin 0 (internal default)
mpath1: features = 1 queue_if_no_path (internal default)
mpath1: hwhandler = 0 (internal default)
mpath1: rr_weight = 2 (config file default)
mpath1: minio = 10 (config file default)
mpath1: no_path_retry = 1 (config file default)
pg_timeout = NONE (internal default)
mpath1: set ACT_NOTHING (map unchanged)

It's definitely picking up the settings correctly from multipath.conf,
but the paths are still reinstated immediately once they're reconnected
(even if it's just for a split second).


What does /var/log/messages look like when this happens? Since you changed failback to 120 did you restart multipathd or restart the box?

I've tried rebooting, restarting multipath (and iscsid), flushing multipath (-F), removing all the iscsi targets completely and then reinitializing the targets.  Nothing changes the behavior.  Here's output from /var/log/messages.. note the time between when the link becomes active (13:31:08) to when the path is reinstated (13:31:15):
