Is anyone using CentOS 4.4 with an EMC Clariion SAN?
In particular, I want to know if PowerPath and Naviagent will work on a CentOS 4 system connected to a san using Qlogic or Emulex cards. I tried a couple years ago with Fedora Core 1 or 2, and couldn't get the kernel modules from PowerPath to work since the kernel wasn't the official RHEL one.
I'm most interested in Centos4.4/x86_64, but Centos 4.4/x86 is if interest, too.
Hi,
I have PP working on CentOS-4.3_x86_64. But I am using iSCSI. It's been a very good solution for the task it was matched up with. The San is a EMC box.
Not exactly what you have going but shows that PP does work on a more current CentOS.

Rick,
Thanks for the reply. Did you have any problems getting PowerPath to work, or did it work "right out of the box"?
Well, it installed just fine from the rpm. But yes there were some gotchas, which got fixed when i upgraded to a new release of PP that came out just after I set up my systems. If I recall, the kernel would panic when I shutdown iSCSI before shutting down PP or vice versa, and this would force me to do hard reset. I am also using the GFS packages and have been pleased so far.
