[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/2] mpathpersist: add all_tg_pt option

Benjamin Marzinski bmarzins at redhat.com
Fri Jun 1 22:22:01 UTC 2018


Some arrays, such as the EMC VNX, don't follow the scsi persistent
reservations spec in making key registrations per I_T NEXUS. Instead,
the registration is shared by all target ports connected to a given
host.  This causes mpathpersist to fail whenever it tries to register a
key, since it will receive a registration conflict on some of the paths.

To deal with this, mpathpersist needs to track the hosts that it has
done a registration on, and only register once per host. The new
"all_tg_pt" multipath.conf option is used to set which arrays need this
feature.  I currently don't know if all EMC VNX arrays handle persistent
reservations like this, or if it is configurable. A future patch will
update the VNX built-in config, if this is indeed their default (or
only) setting.

Multipathd doesn't need to worry about this. It is often the case that
when a path device comes back, it will still have the keys registered to
it. Because of this, multipathd uses register-and-ignore, which means
that it won't cause an error if the registration has already happened
down a different target port.
