How to setup locklun on server running multipath?

[Linus_1]

I have a problem whit a service guard cluster..

We have moved all the LUN's the cluster use to a SAN that supports multipath.. so it's now totaly 48 sda, sdaa and so on..

earlier I had 6 devices in /dev sda-sdf
each device was a lun and the lock lun was sdb1

When we moved to the new SAN all the LUN's got 8 devices each..

I have tryed to set the lock lun to /dev/dm-2 or /dev/mpath/mpath2 which is the lun we want to use but when I check t he conf I got an error that says this:

Error: /dev/dm-2 is not a valid device. Validation failed.
Error: Invalid data for cluster lock LUN configuration
cmcheckconf : Unable to verify cluster file: /usr/local/cmcluster/conf/cluster1.ascii

I maybe should have used the search function first, I found that serviceguard cluster cant use mpath or dm* devices for locklun..

Is there any way for me to solve this so I can get the cluster working??

yes, use a device such as /dev/sda. remove md for your lock.

Can you explain what you mean whit "remove md for your lock" ?

the lun that I want to use for lock is whown as
eight devices:

I solved it, installed qlogic drivers and it works fine..
