Hello, I have a RHEL5.10 Server (x86_64) system connected to a storage array via iscsi. After configuring iscsi and multipathd and installing the database, all seemed well. One reboot, the 8 iscsi sessions were established and appear to be correct: root@oracle-flash ~>iscsiadm -m session tcp: [1] 192.168.42.1:3260,1 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.1d8d233897606807 tcp: [2] 192.168.41.1:3260,1 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.1d8d233897606807 tcp: [3] 192.168.41.1:3260,1 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.1d8d233897606807 tcp: [4] 192.168.41.1:3260,1 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.1d8d233897606807 tcp: [5] 192.168.41.1:3260,1 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.1d8d233897606807 tcp: [6] 192.168.42.1:3260,1 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.1d8d233897606807 tcp: [7] 192.168.42.1:3260,1 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.1d8d233897606807 tcp: [8] 192.168.42.1:3260,1 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.1d8d233897606807 No multipath device (mpath1) however: root@oracle-flash ~>multipath -d failed to find rport_id for target8:0:0 create: mpath1 (3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002) PURE,FlashArray [size=3.0T][features=0][hwhandler=0][n/a] \_ [prio=1][undef] \_ 8:0:0:10 sdb 8:16 [undef][ready] \_ 7:0:0:10 sdc 8:32 [undef][ready] \_ 13:0:0:10 sdd 8:48 [undef][ready] \_ 14:0:0:10 sde 8:64 [undef][ready] \_ 10:0:0:10 sdf 8:80 [undef][ready] \_ 12:0:0:10 sdg 8:96 [undef][ready] \_ 11:0:0:10 sdh 8:112 [undef][ready] \_ 9:0:0:10 sdi 8:128 [undef][ready] root@oracle-flash ~>multipath -ll root@oracle-flash ~>multipath -F root@oracle-flash ~>multipath -r failed to find rport_id for target8:0:0 failed to find rport_id for target8:0:0 failed to find rport_id for target8:0:0 failed to find rport_id for target8:0:0 failed to find rport_id for target8:0:0 failed to find rport_id for target8:0:0 failed to find rport_id for target8:0:0 failed to find rport_id for target8:0:0 root@oracle-flash ~>ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 16 15:57 ata-TSSTcorp_DVD-ROM_SN-108BB_R8TB6GMCC00333 -> ../../hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 16 15:57 scsi-3600508e000000000ca1771980431ca00 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:57 scsi-3600508e000000000ca1771980431ca00-part1 -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:57 scsi-3600508e000000000ca1771980431ca00-part2 -> ../../sda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 16 15:58 scsi-3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002 -> ../../sdg lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:58 scsi-3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002-part1 -> ../../sdi1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:58 scsi-3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002-part2 -> ../../sdg2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:58 scsi-3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002-part3 -> ../../sdg3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:58 scsi-3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002-part4 -> ../../sde4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:58 scsi-3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002-part5 -> ../../sdg5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:58 scsi-3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002-part6 -> ../../sdg6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:58 scsi-3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002-part7 -> ../../sdg7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 16 15:58 scsi-3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002-part8 -> ../../sdg8 root@oracle-flash ~>cat /var/lib/multipath/bindings # Multipath bindings, Version : 1.0 # NOTE: this file is automatically maintained by the multipath program. # You should not need to edit this file in normal circumstances. # # Format: # alias wwid # mpath0 3600508e000000000ca1771980431ca00 mpath1 3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002 root@oracle-flash ~>grep -v ^# /etc/multipath.conf devices { device { vendor "PURE" path_selector "round-robin 0. path_grouping_policy multi bus rr_min_io 1 path_checker tur fast_io_fail_tmo 10 dev_loss_tmo 30 } } defaults { udev_dir /dev user_friendly_names yes polling_interval 10 selector "round-robin 0" path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker tur rr_min_io 1 no_path_retry 0 fast_io_fail_tmo 3 } blacklist { devnode "^sda" } multipaths { multipath { wwid 3624a9370266083988b6c502f00010002 alias mpath1 } } I've looked around a bit but I don't see this problem addressed.
