[dm-devel] checker msg is "emc_clariion_checker: Path not correctly configured for failover"

[Paul Cote]

Hi

I've recently added an EMC CX3-80 ... And provisioned volumes to my
RHEL4-4 running with multipath tools v4.7.

I've added the recommend settings by EMC for the CX to the
multipath.conf file (below) but I am seeing the following errors;

devices {
## Device attributes requirements for EMC Symmetrix
## are part of the default definitions and do not require separate
## definition.
## Device attributes for EMC CLARiiON
device {
vendor "DGC "
product "*"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_emc /dev/%n"
path_checker emc_clariion
path_selector "round-robin 0"
features "1 queue_if_no_path"
no_path_retry 300
hardware_handler "1 emc"
failback immediate
}
}

[root at ldm1066 log]# multipath -F

I'm thinking this is a configuration issue on the CX ... 

Any comments / suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul
