[dm-devel] RH 4 and HSG80

[Eric Ritchie]

I trying to setup multipathing with HSG80s on a Redhat 4 update 5 host. 
I have it mostly working, the problem I'm having is that the 2 disks 
I've created on the HSGs only go through one controller. I set the 
preferred path for each disk to use a different controller but dm always 
sets them to go through just one. I also can't find a way to move a disk 
to the other controller, I thought multipathd -k switch would work but 
it doesn't. Does anyone have RedHat4 and HSG80s working properly with 
multipathing? Here is my multipath.conf file and multipath -ll output:

        user_friendly_names yes
