Hi all
We have a problem loading tje Fibre Channel Multi-Path IO (MPIO) for Linux.
It is a Ubuntu 8,03
Any ideas ?
Best Regards
Petter
Do you get any specific errors?
What are the HBA models and firmware levels?
Hi
Yes, we used the setup seen here:
http://filers.blogspot.com/2006/08/configuring-fcp-multipathing-in-redhat.html
LUNs is made from filerview, the 4 disk is viewable, the same disk from 4 paths, and we can do a fdisk -l on them.
Output from multipath -ll gives this:
# multipath -ll
sda: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down"
sdc: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down"
sdb: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down"
sdd: checker msg is "readsector0 checker reports path is down"

We have tried with CentOS 5,3 and here it works fine.
The HBA cards are:
QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver: 8.02.00.06.05.03-k
QLogic QMH2462 -

Can you use the "direct_io" path checker and try ?
readsector0 had many issues and was deprecated. direct_io is the new default, upstream.
Correction:
It is directio and not direct_io
