[dm-devel] multipath rdac - recover from both paths lost

[Greg Cockburn]

Hi,

I am trying to get back from a strage situation.

I have had both paths in a RDAC setup fail and then come back.

I want to know if there is a way to recover from this without a reboot.

(OS = CentOS 5.1)

multipath -ll
mpath2 (3600a0b800035ebc8000001a94652ae50) dm-4 IBM,1726-4xx  FAStT

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
