Hi2all I'm on RHEL 5.4 with lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5_4.1 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5 I have a multipathed SAN connection with what Im builing LVs Its a Cluster system, and I want LVs to switch on failure If I simulate a fail through the OS via /sys/bus/scsi/devices/$DEVICE/delete I get a LV fail and the service switch to other node But if I do it "real" portdown on the SAN Switch, multipath reports path down, but LVM commands hang forever and nothing gets switched from the logs i see multipath failing paths, and lvm Failed to remove faulty "devices" Any ideas how I should "fix" it?
