multipath with SAS and FC.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I try to use multipath with SAS disk, transported by Fiber Channel, on
Dell Compellent.
My volume is detected on 2x R440 PowerEdge hosted by Centos 8 and
orchestrated by oVirt.


Problematic :

On my two ovirt node with the same configuration and hardware
specifications,
I give this same behavor, one of my two link, is flapping ACTIVE to FAILED

Something like this :
# multipath -ll
36000d31003d5c2000000000000000010 dm-3 COMPELNT,Compellent Vol
size=1.5T features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
`-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=25 status=active
   |- 1:0:0:2 sdb 8:16 active ready running
   `- 1:0:1:2 sdc 8:32 failed ready running   -- looping failed/ready


Some interesting stuff :

I've made a misconfiguration ?
Is It possible to use SAS over FC ?

Thank you.

Benoit Chatelain.
