Hi,

Can you post the contents of your /etc/multipath.conf file or the output of 
multipath -ll
Possibly this is just a configuration setting.

Subject: Re: Device mapper multipathing

not sure if anyone else has updated this thread since it was posted;
We ran into issue of delayed path failover (when one path dies/disabled, all IO 
hang for 30sec-2 min);
it wasn't that optimal to have that time IO totally freezed;

We were using redhat 5.4 and also tried oracle enterprise kernel;

Would be great to hear more inputs;

Thx

Hi,

Is anybody who has used device mapper for Linux willing to share their
experience?

I have been using Qlogic multipathing so far with the qla2300_conf
module on RHEL3. No problem with it, but I am moving to RHEL4 and the
needed qla2xxx_conf module is missing from their rmps distribution. So
instead I have done a few tests with device mapper multipathing, seems
to work fine so far, but nothing can beat real world experience.

Thanks,
L.
