He wants the RDAC hw handler and its path checker (rdac). The MD3000i
is an
LSI re-branded box and is the same as the IBM DS3300.
You also want to make sure that you are using the md3000i hw handler
or
scsh_dh_module if you are not already. The dm-devel guys can help you
out.
Here is the multipath.conf he should be using for MD3000i (or for the
DS3300
but will need to modify the vendor/model entry)
# Note: The same as the IBM DS3300
#
device {
vendor DELL
product MD3000i
product_blacklist Universal Xport
features1 queue_if_no_path
path_grouping_policygroup_by_prio
hardware_handler1 rdac
path_checkerrdac
priordac
failbackimmediate
}
This fixed the problem, although a simple flush was not enough to activate
the changes, so it took a bit longer to get the result I wanted. In the end
I saw that it was still using the direction path_checker and noticed that
you cannot change the 'path_checker' on the fly with just a multipath -F /
-v 2, but that a reload of the modules was needed.
$ multipath -ll
webdata (36001ec9000d16311067f484e260c) dm-0 DELL,MD3000i
[size=2.0T][features=0][hwhandler=1 rdac]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=1000][active]
\_ 0:0:0:0 sda 8:0 [active][ready]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled]
\_ 1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [active][ready]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled]
\_ 2:0:0:0 sdc 8:32 [active][ghost]
\_ 3:0:0:0 sdd 8:48 [active][ghost]
That is the output of multipath now, and no more spam in my syslog or dmesg.
(The different priorities you see are because the second path (with a prio
of 1) is a longer path through 1 more switch, so I'd rather not give it a
high priority, and if the '1000' path fails, it just uses the '1' path.)
A big thanks to everyone who directed me on the right path ;)
