Yes, I've done it!

multipathd uses /sbin/scsi_id to determine which block devices are really the same as eachother. (Actually, the callout is configured in /etc/multipath.conf, but its usually /sbin/scsi_id).

If /sbin/scsi_id returns the same ID for two block devices then you should be able to failover between them.

The path failovers are handled by the kernel part of the device-mapper-multipath package, and path recovery is handled by multipathd.

Regards,

Alex

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to failover an iSCSI path from one EUI / IQN to one with a different EUI / IQN assuming the data on both targets is identical. Would this be handeled by the iSCSI stack or multipathd?

Thank you for your help!
