Hi,
everyone
In my testing in the use of 3Par storage device, when a LUN changes LUN
number
multipathd can not receive the uevent and can not disable access to the device.
but for HP 6300 storage device, it can receive the uevent and disable access
to the device.
So I think 3Par storage device don't support the case.
Now I don't have a right way to deal with the case. Thanks for your advise.

monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

I have taken some pains to try to explain this short-coming to the
customer who filed this bugzilla. The good news is that in practice, the
device ususally goes down when you are remapping the LUN, and you
disable the device before it ever comes back. In my testing, I wasn't
able to actually ever write to the wrong device with
disable_changed_wwids enabled, but I do agree that you have the
potential to race here.
