Thanks.  I had to remove the features line -- got an Unrecognised
feature request error otherwise.

Thanks again,

You are using the wrong path checker, wrong path priority program,
and no hardware path checker :-(

Here is what you need in your multipath.conf file:

 #   
# DELL :D3000i :: Active-Passive RDAC
# Note: The same as the IBM DS3300
#   
device {
vendor  "DELL"
product "MD3000i"
product_blacklist   "Universal Xport"
features"1 queue_if_no_path"
path_grouping_policygroup_by_prio
hardware_handler"1 rdac"
path_checkerrdac
prio"rdac"
failbackimmediate
}   


Thought you might need to replace the 'prio "rdac"' with
'prio_callout   "/sbin/mpath_prio_rdac" as I think RHEL5/CentOS5 uses
the old calling convention.

This should get rid of your down errors and show your passive/active path
properly.
