Charles,
   You said "The array is split into 2 virtual disk, each assigned to one of the RAID controllers".
   Did you mean you redistributed the two luns(one is owned by controller A and one by controller B)? 

   It appears that your luns are moving back and forth between two controllers.. You can try setting failback to manual(failback manual).  This is not a solution but to understand the problem.

  Are you seeing "MODE_SELECT" messages in the logs..  Can you paste snippet of log messages..
Thanks
Babu

I have a MD3200 setup with multipathd running RHEL 5.5.

The array is split into 2 virtual disk, each assigned to one of the RAID
controllers.

I believe I have the drivers setup properly, including scsi_dh_rdac.

multipath.conf has been customized by the Dell software install as follows:

blacklist {
         device {
                 vendor  "*"
                 product "Universal Xport"
         }
}
defaults {
         user_friendly_names yes
         max_fds             8192
}
devices {
         device {
                 vendor                "DELL"
                 product               "MD32xxi"

         }

I have LVM striping extents between these two disks. There are 4 10T
lvols, for example:

$ lvdisplay -m /dev/rmane/d01
   --- Logical volume ---
   LV Name                /dev/rmane/d01
   VG Name                rmane
   LV UUID                6sQcuN-AaG7-EaIN-njz1-LHfB-LlWk-SOfZZE
   LV Write Access        read/write
   LV Status              available
   # open                 1
   LV Size                10.00 TB
   Current LE             1311210
   Segments               1
   Allocation             inherit
   Read ahead sectors     auto
   - currently set to     65536
   Block device           253:8

   --- Segments ---
   Logical extent 0 to 1311209:
     Type                striped
     Stripes             2
     Stripe size         8192 KB
     Stripe 0:
       Physical volume   /dev/dm-4
       Physical extents  1311210 to 1966814
     Stripe 1:
       Physical volume   /dev/dm-5
       Physical extents  1311210 to 1966814

I am using ext4 in each of the 4 lvols.

Today, I have started coping some data (about 200GB) to one of these
volumes (via rsync) and I've noticed a large number of errors from the
kernel:

Feb 28 14:24:20 rman-ss-03 kernel: FAILED
Feb 28 14:24:20 rman-ss-03 kernel:   status = 1, message = 00, host = 0,
driver = 08
Feb 28 14:24:20 rman-ss-03 kernel:   <6>sd: Current: sense key: Illegal
Request
Feb 28 14:24:20 rman-ss-03 kernel:     <<vendor>> ASC=0x94
ASCQ=0x1ASC=0x94 ASCQ=0x1

These are repeating every 1-2 seconds (a total of 2526 times) during the
111 minutes it took to complete the copy.


My best efforts of researching this error have lead me to this thread:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2009-September/msg00311.html


I don't have any issues during boot and I'm not sure where to go from here.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,


-Charles
