Hi,
I've gotten failover and failback working, however, I'm not sure if the
amount of wait time for the failover is reasonable. I'm using QLogic
2340 cards and an EVA8000. I'm curious if anyone else using something
similar is seeing in terms of failover times.
When things are running as I'd expect I'm seeing just a few seconds
before the new path is up. When things seem wrong it's waiting and
queueing for as much as 1.5 minutes.
What should I be expecting?
My multipath.conf looks like this:
defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
multipath_tool "/sbin/multipath -v0"
udev_dir /dev
polling_interval 10
default_selector "round-robin 0"
default_path_grouping_policy failover
default_getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%
n"
default_prio_callout "/bin/true"
default_features "0"
rr_min_io 100
failback immediate
}
devnode_blacklist {
devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
devnode "^hd[a-z]"
devnode "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*"
}
multipaths {
multipath {
