I added a rdac handler and hp storage works one that does START_STOP. I also integrated it into the devinfo table (cannot update from proc or module param just yet) and fixed some bugs and did some cleanup - still need to better integrate the REQ cmt type checking. Christophe V, I was wondering what is the vendor/module info for your box? We have a MSA1000 VOLUME/COMPAQ here, but START_STOP does not work. I mean if I send the command it always executes successfully, but the device does not failover (READ/WRITEs fail). I tried just running sg_start and this runs ok but READ/WRITE still fail, so I hacked up scsi_debug to simulate my testing. If you want to try it out, you just have to add a devinfo entry for your box. I did this for the MSA I thought used it by adding the "hp_sw" string to the end of an existing devinfo entry: + {"COMPAQ", "MSA1000", NULL, BLIST_SPARSELUN | BLIST_NOSTARTONADD, "hp_sw"}, + {"COMPAQ", "MSA1000 VOLUME", NULL, BLIST_SPARSELUN | BLIST_NOSTARTONADD, "hp_sw"}, and you need to use a slightly different table format. I use this for a setup with two paths (one to each target controller) with each path in a different priority group. 0 16384 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 1 1 2 1 round-robin 0 1 1 8:48 1000 round-robin 0 1 1 8:32 1000 0 16384 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path <the bits here "1 1" is what changed > 2 1 round-robin 0 1 1 8:48 1000 round-robin 0 1 1 8:32 1000 If you have a device that needs manual failover, you pass "1 1". If it it does not require manual failover then just pass "0". There is no need to pass any hw handler type because the hw handler is no longer in dm. Later when we do more advanced configuration we will have to write to some sysfs interface at the scsi layer to configure values like the tresspass or page2c type (clariion and rdac settings). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
