[dm-devel] 2.6 Kernel Oops

[Hergen Lange]

Hello,

i try to setup a multipath to a EMC Clariion Device with the following 
infrstructure.
Kernel 2.6.10-rc3 and udm2 Patch.
multipath-tools 0.4.1

I have one qla2310 Adapter "Firmware version 3.03.02 IPX, Driver version 
8.00.00b21-k"
wich is zoned to SPA Port0  and SPB Port0 of the Clariion. So we have 
two path to the LUN.

I setup multipath.conf with the following.

multipath {
               wwid                 3600601601b121200540b8c1caf4ad911                     
               alias                   yellow
               path_grouping_policy    failover
               path_checker             emc_clariion
               path_selector           "round-robin 0"
               getuid_callout  "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s %n"
       }
       device {
               vendor                  "DGC     "
               product                 "RAID 5          "
               path_grouping_policy    failover
               getuid_callout          "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
               path_checker            emc_clariion
       }

When i start the multipathd i get the following table

yellow: 0 20971520 multipath 0 0 2 1 round-robin 0 1 1 8:64 1000 
round-robin 0 1 1 8:80 1000

multipath -v2 -l reports

yellow (3600601601b121200540b8c1caf4ad911)
[size=10 GB][features="0"][hwhandler="0"]
\_ round-robin 0 [enabled][first]
 \_ 2:0:1:0 sde  8:64    [ready ][active]
\_ round-robin 0 [enabled]
 \_ 2:0:2:0 sdf  8:80    [ready ][active]

I can work with the device     dd if=/dev/yellow of=/dev/null count=1000 

When i disable one port on the switch to the Clarion, or unplug the cable from 
the SP (Clariion) the dd command goes to D+ state (ps ax)
and I get messages like this.

Enable the Switch Port or plugging the cable has no effect. The 
device /dev/yellow remains dead.

No failover !!!!
