Netapp support has a host setup guide which covers the settings you
should be using in multipath.conf:
defaults
{
user_friendly_names yes
max_fds 4096
}
blacklist
{
wwid <DevId>
devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
devnode "^hd[a-z]"
devnode "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*[p[0-9]*]"
}
devices
{
device
{
vendor "NETAPP"
product "LUN"
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_ontap /dev/%n"
features "1 queue_if_no_path"
hardware_handler "0"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
failback immediate
rr_weight uniform
rr_min_io 128
path_checker directio
}
}
Try those out and see if it helps.
