...or accessing these disks I use dm-multipath, since I use 2 separate networks for access. For these reasons I want host system to force not to scan dm-multipath disks for partitions.

Hi all, Writing up some Fedora documentation, and looking to figure out the best way of mapping multipath network(!) LUNs to pools in libvirt. ie Infiniband SRP LUNs, but would probably apply to Fibre Channel equally as well. There are two approaches I can think of easily: a) Large LUNs (ie TB+) that are mapped to a host server as disk, with each LUN being configured as an LVM

...Port : 14567 State : Open Connected Clear Readonly : No Sectors : 41941688 # After, I have configured the device-mapper multipath by commenting the "blacklist" section in /etc/multipath.conf and adding this "defaults" section: defaults { user_friendly_names yes polling_interval 5 #path_grouping_policy failover path_grouping_policy multibus rr_min_io 1 failback immediate #failback manual no_path_retry fail #no_path_retry queue } Now I have the mpath device configured correctly...

Are folks in the Centos community succesfully using device-mapper-multipath? I am looking to deploy it for error handling on our iSCSI setup but there seems to be little traffic about this package on the Centos forums, as far as I can tell, and there seems to be a number of small issues based on my reading the dm-multipath developer lists and related resources. -geoff Geoff Galitz Blankenheim

The reason for the behaviour observed below turned out to be that the device entry in /etc/multipath.conf was inadvertently appended *after* the devices section , rather than inside it - so that we had #devices { # device { # blah blah # } (file has a bunch of defaults commented out) # etc #} # # device { our settings } *rather than*

Hi all. While playing with iSCSI Enterprise Target + multipathd on CentOS 5.1 (both the target and the initiator/multipath/xen box are Cent 5.1), I encountered a strange fault condition that leads to a kernel panic in a version of Xen 3.2.1-rc2 pulled from a couple of days ago. My lab consists of two Clovertown machines with dual GigE into separate switches. The target box is softraid5

hi all We have a rh linux server connected to two HP SAN controllers, one an HSV200 (on the way out), the other an HSV400 (on the way in).
