Hi, My storage admin just assigned a Lun (fibre) to my server. Then re scanned using echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host5/issue_lip echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host6/issue_lip I can see the scsi device using dmesg But mpath device are not created for this LUN Pleas see below. The last 4 should be active and I think this is the problem Kernel:

I have several CentOS 6 boxes that mount iscsi based luns and use mpath. They all had problems shutting down as a result of unused maps not getting flushed as the system halted. After examining the init scripts, netfs, iscsi and multipathd all had the correct order but mpath failed to flush these maps and the system waited indefinitely. In the meantime I hacked this by adding a `/sbin/multipath

Dear list, we have a relatively new Sun Storage 7310, where we connect CentOS 5.5 Servers (IBM LS21/LS41 Blades) via Brocade Switches, 4GBit FC. The Blades boot from SAN via qla2xxx, and have no harddisks at all. We want them to use multipathing from the very beginning, so /boot and / are already seen by multipathd. Problem is, that the Sun 7310 has two storage heads which run in

Hello, I have IBM Storwize V3700 storage, connected to 2 IBM x3550 M4 servers via fiber channel. The servers are with QLogic ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA cards and run Centos 5.10 When I export a volume to the servers, each of them sees the volume twice, i.e /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc, with the same size. Previously I have installed many systems with IBM DS3500 series of

I'm seeing some strange behavior from OCFS2 while trying to mount mpath/dm-multipath devices under RHEL5. Sometimes I can mount the EMC-connected, dual-pathed volumes just fine and sometimes I get "device busy" errors. I've tried mounting by label and also by explicit /dev/mapper/mpathXpY name with the same unpredictable behavior. I've also noticed that sometimes when a

Hi, I'm using libvirt 0.8.3 on Fedora 14 (as I wrote earlier, I'm having some trouble updating to the newest version), and I'm having problems getting iscsi and mpath storage pools to work in a usable and consistent manner. I have two storage pools defined on the host machine, one for raw iscsi- devices and one for those same iscsi devices device-mapped by multipath. They look

I had build ocfs2-tools-1.2.3 from sources on x86_64 machine (FC6). When I run: ocfs2console I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/sbin/ocfs2console", line 3, in ? from ocfs2interface.about import process_args ImportError: No module named ocfs2interface.about When I try: locate ocfs2interface.about I get no result. Any ideas what went wrong ? Regards, Andy

Ever since we have installed OCFS2, we have had extremely slow performance in the ocfs2console. It can take us over 30 minutes to do the simplest tasks. We do not have this type of performance with other xwindows applications on our server. Does anyone have any performance improvement suggestions for the ocfs2console? Thanks, Reid

This set of patches introduces support for multipath devices for storage. Comments and suggestions are appreciated. Mike

The following patches introduce support for multipath and cciss devices to the ovirt-node and node-image. Comments are appreciated. These patches assume that the 3 patches (2 node, 1 node-image) from Joey are all incorporated. Mike

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

All other patches from the sequence remain unchanged. Repost of patch 6 based on comments from Joey to follow. Mike

Greetings, Last night I manually unpresented and deleted a LUN (a SAN snapshot) that was presented to one node in a four node RAC environment running OCFS2 v1.4.1-1. The system then rebooted with the following error: Oct 21 16:45:34 ausracdb03 kernel: (27,1):o2hb_write_timeout:166 ERROR: Heartbeat write timeout to device dm-24 after 120000 milliseconds Oct 21 16:45:34 ausracdb03 kernel:

Hi, I'm needing to expand a LUN on my EMC CX4-120 SAN. (Well I already had done it). On this LUN I had a PV of a cLVM VG. Know I need to run pvresize on it. Has anybody done this on a cLVM PV ? I'm trying to rescan the devices, but I can't "see" the new size. And, googling on it I can only find RHEL5.2 responses. Thanks in advance,

Dear fellow CentOS users, I have never experienced this problem with hard disk management before and cannot explain it to myself on any rational basis. The setup: I have a workstation for testing, running latest CentOS 7.3 AMD64. I am evaluating oVirt and a storage-ha as part of my bachelors thesis. I have already been running a RAID1 (mdraid, lvm2) for the system and some oVirt 4.1 testing.

Hi all, I am trying to configure a failover multipath between 2 GNBD devices. I have a 4 nodes Redhat Cluster Suite (RCS) cluster. 3 of them are used for running services, 1 of them for central storage. In the future I am going to introduce another machine for central storage. The 2 storage machine are going to share/export the same disk. The idea is not to have a single point of failure

I'm missing something. The purpose of NPIV (as I understand it) is to give a guest OS an HBA that it can scan, play with new luns, etc all without making changes to the physical server(s) the guest is living in currently. However, I can't find a way to either have the guest's XML config create the HBA or for the physical server to successfully GIVE the HBA to the guest. I can give

Hello, suppose I want to use a special configuration for my IBM/1814 storage array luns, then I put something like this in multipath.conf devices { device { vendor "IBM" product "^1814" product_blacklist "Universal Xport" path_grouping_policy "group_by_prio" path_checker

Hello list! Just pulled down ocfs2 this morning and installed it on two RHEL 4 2.6.9-34 systems. I have followed the manual, but am not seeing some things it describes and am not sure what the problem is. I guess my first question is - do I need to have a partition formatted as ocfs2 on all nodes in the cluster for this to work? I have formatted a partition via ocfs2console on node1, and
