The default mpt config for "COMPELNT/Compellent Vol" is already "multibus".
There is no need to add a custom config to /etc/multipath.conf.
Try:
# save old configs
mv /etc/multipath.conf /etc/_multipath.conf-$(date +%s)
cp -a /etc/multipath/wwids /etc/multipath/_wwids-$(date +%s)
# reconfig mp
mpathconf --enable --user_friendly_names n
multipath -W
systemctl enable multipathd.service
# recreate initrd, and reboot the system
dracut -f
init 6
If the default mode of "COMPELNT/Compellent Vol" arrays WERE CHANGED to ALUA,
(dmesg -T | grep -i alua). The /etc/multipath.conf file must contain:
devices {
device {
vendor "COMPELNT"
product "Compellent Vol"
path_grouping_policy "group_by_prio"
prio "alua"
failback "immediate"
no_path_retry 30
}
}
Follow the same steps, but before "dracut -f" add that config to /etc/multipath.conf
