this is a longshot, but try multipath -ll -v3 | more
and see if the devices are really seen as IBM 2145? or something else?

I have sles not RedHat, not sure of differences;
Do you know if mkinitrd put an older copy of multipath.conf into initrd?
try mkinitrd, zipl, reboot.

Hello,

Thanks for your respond, first I tried the multipathd -k reconfigure
(and get a ok returned) and later when seen that it still was using tur
we tried a reboot but with the same result.

Kind regards,

Did you change multipath.conf and reboot the machine?
if not reboot, what steps put the changed multipath.conf into effect
for the 2145's (SVC) LUNs?

Greetings,

We tried testing with path_checker readsector0 end directio but we get
some strange behavior eg the checker used is always tur!!
So if we create a device entry special for IBM 2145 and define as
path_checker directio or readsector0 we still see in the message file
tur messages:

Jul 23 08:09:00 kl11071i multipathd: 65:0: tur checker reports path is
down
Jul 23 08:09:00 kl11071i multipathd: 65:16: tur checker reports path is
down
Jul 23 08:09:00 kl11071i multipathd: 65:32: tur checker reports path is
down
Jul 23 08:09:00 kl11071i multipathd: 65:48: tur checker reports path is
down
Jul 23 08:09:00 kl11071i multipathd: 65:80: tur checker reports path is
down
Jul 23 08:09:00 kl11071i multipathd: 65:96: tur checker reports path is
down
Jul 23 08:09:00 kl11071i multipathd: 65:112: tur checker reports path is
down


Oure multipath.conf file is:

defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
}

devices{
device {
vendor "IBM"
product "2145"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s"
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_alua %d"
path_checker readsector0
failback immediate
}
}

Did someone see this behavior before? Or are we doing something wrong?
We are using device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-27.el4_6.3 on a rhel4.6
system.

Kind regards,
Menno

Greetings, and thanks again for your response,

I just found a small but importent mistake in the multipath.conf file.
There was no space between devices and the accolade so "devices{" it
must be "devices {" so I just changed that and checked as you already
suppost with multipath -ll -v5 and see now that the path_checker is
changed from tur to readsector0.
I will reproduce the tests tomorrow and will let you know or readsector0
will solve this issue.

Kind regards,
Menno Koehler
