Hi,

 

DOC-35489 only partionally approaches the problem. I have it too, on a 
passive/active IBM DS4000 array and RHEL5.5. I've excluded from lvm.conf any 
SAN partitions as per the note (and also made a new initrd boot, as lvm.conf is 
included at boot time as the / partition I have it LVM'ed) , but messages still 
apears on bootup. They always dissapear when multipathd service starts and its 
scsi_dh_rdac discipline is loaded.

 

Even opened a case with Redhat, and obtained the same response (but not 
workaround): "it's entirely harmless, they are normal".

 

Alvaro

Hi Balaji,

 

According to RedHat documentation some Storage Array Devices configured in 
active/passive mode and using multipath will display this I/O error messages, 
so this might also be your case (see 
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-35489), this link indicates that the 
messages are harmless and can be avoided following its instructions. 

 

The logs you sent do not indicate anything related to fencing, so you might 
need to send the relevant info for that.

 

Cheers,

 

Raúl

Hi,

In my setup implemented 10 tow node cluster's which running mysql as cluster 
service, ipmi card as fencing device.

 

In my /var/log/messages i am keep getting the errors like below,

Environment :

 

RHEL 5.4 & EMC SAN

 

Please suggest how to overcome this issue. Support will be highly helpful.
