[dm-devel] i/o error due to all path failure with rdac

[Moger, Babu]

Hi,

  I am running an online/offline test. I have two paths to the controller. One is active and one is passive. When I fail (offline) the active path (sde 8:64), the Device mapper is failing passive path(sdf 8:80) as well leading to all path failure.  Any ideas or hints?

Here is output multipath -ll. I have only one lun.

[root at localhost ~]# multipath -ll

Here is the detailed log.
