I have configured iscsi connections using iscsid and can log into the targets on the IBM. I can also mount the LUNs when accessing them from their active controller path. When I throw multipath into the mix, it fails completely. Multipath is working, when I run multipath -ll it shows me the correct active path and it is mapped to a device under /dev/mapper. However, if I try to access the device from that path, no luck. A mount request just hangs and eventually there's a kernel error message. > > I'm using the native rdac drivers that came with the OS. Anyone using something similar? My guess is that it's either bad drivers, or a bad multipath config. I started with the default, but after tweaking different parameters, it's still not working. > > Any advice is greatly appreciated. Check the archives, there was someone who posted their multipathd config for an MD3000i a month ago which should be applicable (with a vendor/model name change). -Ross
