The newer Qlogic (qla2xxx) driver for kernel versions 2.6.9 and later do not support the fc_transport class. The support is #ifdefed for kernels > 2.6.6 & < 2.6.9. So I will have to wait till they support this for newer kernels. Meanwhile I can work with a patched version of multipath tools. Thanks for feedback.

Ramesh, I don't feel like going through the hassle of supporting multiple synthax until the multipath target has made its way into the standard kernel, so I'll keep guessing the node_name in behing /sys/class/fc_transport/target<host>:<channel>:<target> or skip the node_name fetch. ok with you ? regards, cvaroqui Le mercredi 22 d?embre 2004 à 16:05 -0500, James.Smart@xxxxxxxxxx a écrit : > Qlogic shouldn't be strung out.
