[dm-devel] multipathd & EMC Clariion CX-4

[NEVEU Stephane]

Hi all,

Actually it works on only one server (I'm actually running a cluster..), the second node is not showing anything when trying multipath -ll.
I tried to remove / reboot / reinstall multipath-tools but I still see this error message in dmesg :
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: table: 251:13: multipath: error getting table
.
.
.
many times.
There is no linked wwn created in /dev/mapper of course whereas everything's working find on the first node..
Any idea ?

Thank you by avance,

Dear Hannes,

You are right ! many thanks ! I moved away multipath.conf from the etc folder and restarted multipath-tools and everything works fine :

Does it automatically recognize symbolic links (pointing to /dev/dm-*) in /dev/mapper/ folder ?

That is wrong. The configuration file doesn't allow for regular 
expressions or wildcards. Please use the correct name ('RAID 5') here.
And 'directio' is most certainly wrong here.

What's wrong with the default setting? It should work out of the box 
without configuration file at all ...

Cheers,

Hannes
