Multipath is not working with EVA 5000 (RHEL 4 IA64)
Hi,
My configuration:
-Itanium 2 Bull server
-2x HP StorageWorks FC1143 PCI-X 4Gb host bus adapter, product number AB429A (QLA 2460).
-OS: RedHat Enterprise 4 U4 (IA64)
-Qlogic driver 8.01.07-fo, latest HBA BIOS (from Qlogic Web Site).
SAN:
- 2xHP Storage Works SAN SWITCH 2/32 (cross connected)
- HP EVA 5000 storage , VCS 3.028 (active/passive). Host type is Solaris, set the failover preference to Path A Failover or Path B Failover in the Management Appliance host settings (for Linux connection)
- Linux servers are in separate zone on FC switch
Modprobe.conf:
options qla2xxx ql2xmaxqdepth=16 qlport_down_retry=30 ql2xloginretrycount=30 ql2xfailover=1 ql2xlbType=1 ql2xautorestore=0x80 remove qla2xxx /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove qla2xxx && { /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove qla2xxx_conf; }
One controller on EVA storage is not working at the moment, and my Linux machine cannot see the presented disks:
If I manually (via SANSurfer) set the path via Active EVA controller I can see the presented disks. Can you help me ? What can I do to achieve working multipath ?

Re: Multipath is not working with EVA 5000 (RHEL 4 IA64)
Hi,
You *might* be better of using HP's version of the QLogic drivers, available here...:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3185351&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=3185350&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=2027
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Hi,
correct, and install the drivers with the -f option (-f stands for failover), then run hp_rescan to check if the disks are seen correctly.
