mpathpersist

[Fil <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christophe,

Happy New Year!

I have seen your set of patches for persistent reservation of multipath
devices and wanted to try them out. While trying this patch set I have
run into several issues. Which code base can I apply this against? Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Issues are listed below.

thanks

1. I have tried applying the patch set against fedora 16 multipath-tools
srpm and it failed miserably.

2. I pulled multipath-tools from opensvc git and that patching failed
too, so I had to apply all the patches manually.

3. while testing mppersist I get following error:

mpathpersist --out --register --param-sark=123abc --prout-type=8

4. with all patches applied, all multipathd cli commands crash the daemon.

here are my configs:

cat /etc/multipath.conf
defaults {
	user_friendly_names	yes
	polling_interval	10
}

multipaths {
	multipath {
		wwid			36001405c55fc03cd8193d491eda0d4d7
		alias			blah
	}
}


devices {
	device {
		vendor			"QNAP"
		product			"iSCSI Storage"
		path_selector		"round-robin 0"
		path_grouping_policy	multibus
		getuid_callout          "/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/%n"
		path_checker		directio
		failback		immediate
	}

}

blacklist {
        devnode "^(vd)[a-z]"
}
