Actually I then found the "Host Utilities Installation and setup 6.0"
guide from NetApp with reference to multipath config for rh el 5.6 and
up. So my starting config will be this one:
device {
vendor "NETAPP"
product "LUN"
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_alua /dev/%n"
features "1 queue_if_no_path"
hardware_handler "1 alua"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
failback immediate
rr_weight uniform
rr_min_io 128
path_checker directio
}
}
It could be interesting to propose a different default, perhaps?
