I wonder if it is picking the values from internal table.. Try passing the vendor and product ids as below.. device { vendor "IBM" product "1814" ..

This might produce some useful information.. ________________________________________ From: dm-devel-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [dm-devel-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nuno Fernandes [npf-mlists@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 11:24 AM To: device-mapper development Subject: Can't seem to set features=1 queue_if_no_path Hi, I have the following multipath.conf [root@blade01 ~]# cat /etc/multipath.conf defaults { user_friendly_names yes } blacklist { devnode "^sda$" } device { vendor "*" product "*" getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_rdac /dev/%n" hardware_handler "1 rdac" features "1 queue_if_no_path" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio failback immediate no_path_retry queue rr_min_io 1000 path_checker rdac } multipaths { multipath { wwid 360080e5000183dfe000003754ccffae5 alias red } multipath { wwid 360080e5000183c88000003734ccffa68 alias blue } } I have both "no_path_retry queue" and 'features "1 queue_if_no_path"'.
