Hello All, I am having some problems configuring OCFS2 to use only the multipath device name. We have been doing failover testing with our ISCI SAN and as soon as we unplug one NIC the following messages appear in /var/log/messages and the system reboots. Dec 16 12:39:03 mcprac01 kernel: (56,6):o2hb_write_timeout:172 ERROR: Heartbeat write timeout to device dm-34 after 120000 milliseconds Dec 16 12:39:03 mcprac01 kernel: (56,6):o2hb_stop_all_regions:1967 ERROR: stopping heartbeat on all active regions.

Is there anyway to tell OCFS2 to ignore the /dev/sd* devices ? $ mounted.ocfs2 -d Device FS UUID Label /dev/sdf1 ocfs2 2eaddbd4-fac6-4c83-a86d-357215730b23 /dev/dm-25 ocfs2 2eaddbd4-fac6-4c83-a86d-357215730b23 /dev/sdaj1 ocfs2 2eaddbd4-fac6-4c83-a86d-357215730b23 /dev/sdd1 ocfs2 199f76a6-280a-46c6-812e-50712170a823 /dev/dm-32 ocfs2 199f76a6-280a-46c6-812e-50712170a823 /dev/sdai1 ocfs2 199f76a6-280a-46c6-812e-50712170a823 cluster.conf cluster: node_count = 2 name = mcprac node: ip_port = 7777 ip_address = 10.254.0.2 number = 1 name = mcprac00 cluster = mcprac node: ip_port = 7777 ip_address = 10.254.0.3 number = 2 name = mcprac01 cluster = mcprac $ service o2cb status Driver for "configfs": Loaded Filesystem "configfs": Mounted Driver for "ocfs2_dlmfs": Loaded Filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Mounted Checking O2CB cluster mcprac: Online Heartbeat dead threshold = 61 Network idle timeout: 30000 Network keepalive delay: 2000 Network reconnect delay: 2000 Checking O2CB heartbeat: Active $ service ocfs2 status Configured OCFS2 mountpoints: /spfile /ora_backup Active OCFS2 mountpoints: /spfile /ora_backup Daryl Nyburg Oracle DBA The University of Toledo ph 419-530-3964 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
