Multi-path RedHat AS4 and EVA8000

Yermek Bissenbayev — Mon, 17 Apr 2006 23:21:52 GMT

Dear All,
Please help to enable multi-path on RedHat AS4.
The equipment:
1) EVA8000 2C6D.
2) Dell PowerEge 2600 with OS Linux RedHAt AS4 Kernel: 2.6.9-5.ELsmp; 2-FCA2214 (driver hp_qla2x00src 8.00.02p11 Release: 24).
3) SAN

100GB from EVA presented to a Linux server.

Bellow full logs:

OS sees one VDISK disk on 8 paths. At enabled multipath (ql2xfailover Default: 1) OS should see only one, similarly to /dev/sdb. Most likely ql2xfailover don't work.

How to solve this problem??!!

Upgrade your kernel so that you're at least at RHEL 4 U1. It appears there were pieces of the Qlogic driver in the pre-U1 kernel that override anything that's loaded (-k is the 'embedded' driver).

Dear Robert,

By your advice I'm update last kernel OS RHAS4
2.6.9-34.EL smp

Default version qlogic driver in new kernel:
QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for QLA2340:
Firmware version 3.03.18 IPX, Driver version 8.01.02-d4

After I'm download from hp support site new relase driver hp_qla2x00src-8.01.03-14.linux.rpm

Please log update bellow:
