hi,
would like to know if anyone has configured successfully fence_scsi with
mpio and emc clariion.
we are getting a new storage (emc vmax) and i would like to know if
fence_scsi is usable in productive environment.
thanks and greetings

I'm using the config provide by Red Hat by default:
device {
vendor "DGC"
product ".*"
product_blacklist "LUN_Z"
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_emc /dev/%n"
features "1 queue_if_no_path"
hardware_handler "1 emc"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
failback immediate
rr_weight uniform
no_path_retry 300
rr_min_io 1000
path_checker emc_clariion
}

What path checker are you using? I've heard that certain path checkers
cause problems, but I honestly don't know enough about dm-multipath
to understand the reason for this.
I have successfully used it with RDAC.

I enable scsi_reserve, multipath starts failing and a path goes good and
bad in a loop and scsi fencing fails sometimes, should I configure in a
specific way multipath.conf?:
