Hi there,
i get Error Messages in my logfiles when I boot the System and then, approx. every 10 Minutes, or during an hwinfo.
The Server is connected to an EMC CX 300 through 1 Qlogic HBA.
The Messages only appear for the failover Device. In my Example for /dev/sdh. 

#multipath -ld

Thanks for help!
