Hello,
All servers are RHEL 4.5
SAN is HP EVA 4000
we are using linux qla modules and multipathd
cluster server have only one FC Card


In the dmesg of servers connected to GFS we have a lot of :
SCSI error : <0 0 1 1> return code = 0x20000
end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 37807111

The cluster seems to work fine but I'd like to know if we can avoid this
error.

here is a multipathd -ll output :

[root at como ~]# multipath -ll
mpath1 (3600508b4001051e40000900000310000)

 \_ 0:0:0:1 sda 8:0  [active][ready]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=10][enabled]
 \_ 0:0:1:1 sdd 8:48 [active][ready]

and the device in the multipath.conf

devices {
        device {
                vendor                  "HP "
