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

Thu Oct 30 19:17:08 UTC 2008

I am running multipath-tools v0.4.8 (I just pulled from mainstream last week) and kernel version 2.6.27-rc7.

I am not seeing "queueing MODE_SELECT command", because this is online/offline test.  When you offline the controller the luns are automatically transferred to alt controller.

Thanks
Babu Moger

What version of multipath tools and kernel are you running? If this is a
newer kernel I would have expected to see "queueing MODE_SELECT command"
during failover.
