Hi,

I realize this might not be strictly GPFS related but I’m getting a little 
desperate here…
I’m doing an implementation of GPFS/Spectrum Scale 4.2 at a customer and 
struggle on a question of disk multipathing for the intended NSD disks with 
their direct attached SAS disk systems.
 If I do a multipath –ll, after a few seconds I just get the prompt back. I 
expected to see the usual big amount of path info, but nothing there.

If I do a multipathd –k and then a show config, I see all the Dell disk luns 
with reasonably right parameters. I can see them as /dev/sdf, /dev/sdg, etc. 
devices.
I can also add them in PowerKVM:s Kimchi web interface and even deploy a GPFS 
installation on it. The big question is, though, how do I get multipathing to 
work ?
Do I need any special driver or setting in the multipath.conf file ?
I found some of that but more generic e.g. for RedHat 6, but now we are in 
PowerKVM country.

The platform consists of:
4x IBM S812L servers
SAS controller
  PowerKVM 3.1
Red Hat 7.1
2x Dell MD3460 SAS disk systems
No switches
