I updated multipath.conf as above, ran update-initramfs.
# cat /etc/multipath.conf
devices {
device {
vendor "Promise"
product "VTrak"
product_blacklist "VTrak V-LUN"
path_grouping_policy "multibus"
detect_prio "no"
hardware_handler ""
prio "const"
failback "manual"
no_path_retry 30
}
}
Also, I removed the wwid of the test LUN
# multipath -v 3 -w 2228a0001558b1855

This is the device section I had before for the Promise
device {
vendor "Promise"
product "VTrak"
product_blacklist "VTrak V-LUN"
path_grouping_policy "multibus"
path_selector "service-time 0"
path_checker "tur"
prio "alua"
failback "immediate"
no_path_retry 30
}
The only real differences are the prio and failback.
