Re: [Users] iscsi mpio
You previously mentioned you're using package 2.5.5-0.fc17. It looks like you have a typo, so please resend the exact package of ovirt-node you're using. Also - Where did you get the package from? We'd like to try and reproduce here. Did you make any changes to mount so that /var is now Read Only? Please send us the output for the mount command on your system.

Re: [Users] iscsi mpio
Hi Jonathan, I'm trying to understand the context for your problem. As I understand it, your problem stems from the fact that you're working on a Read Only fs, long before the multipath issue. So you have root permissions on an RO fs? How come? Why is it RO to begin with? Are you working on RHEVM? Which OS, version? Maybe we can be of more help if we better understand the context.

Re: [Users] iscsi mpio
Im using a Equallogic iscsi SAN, and it has a special multi path driver because it uses a virtual IP for the initiator to log into, and the actual traffic ip addresses are not exposed to the initiator. I tried to install the rpm but as far as i can get is: [root@vmnode02 x86_64]# rpm -Uvh equallogic-host-tools-1.2.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm --nodeps warning: equallogic-host-tools-1.2.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 84fd3ef3: NOKEY error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Read-only file system) Is there a way to unlock the file system so i can try to install and configure this driver? This is the current output of multipath -ll on my node: [root@vmnode02 x86_64]# multipath -ll 36019cb3131d6f276d80a45bb6501f0c9 dm-10 size=500G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw 36001e4f03dd42300183eaac404afd5ce dm-0 DELL,PERC 6/i size=279G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active `- 2:2:0:0 sda 8:0 active ready running The EQ san does show only 1 single tcp connection into the LUN, so i know its not multipathing at this time. This will be a huge downer if i have to go to production without multi path support. Is there anything i can do here?

Re: [Users] iscsi mpio
Hi, I can give you some information on multipathing on RHEV-H, as I don't have ovirt-node installed at the moment. Multipath packages are installed on the hypervisor, but vdsm overwrites multipath.conf. To prevent this you have to set the following tags: # RHEV REVISION 0.7 # RHEV PRIVATE Search for MPATH_CONF_TAG in multipath.py file to get correct RHEV REVISION number. After changing multipath.conf to fit your needs make it persistent for reboots: # persist /etc/multipath.conf You can check multipath status with: # multipath -ll mpathb (b00015521f5d4) dm-0 Intel,Multi-Flex size=96G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=50 status=active | `- 0:0:0:1 sdb 8:16 active ready running mpatha (222140001553601d1) dm-1 Intel,Multi-Flex size=20G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=50 status=active | `- 0:0:0:0 sda 8:0 active ready running I hope this helps. Don't really know if the tags are the same in oVirt, as I don't have a working oVirt setup at the moment. -- Best Regards, DI (FH) René Koch Senior Solution Architect ovido gmbh - "Das Linux Systemhaus" Brünner Straße 163, A-1210 Wien Phone: +43 720 / 530 670 Mobile: +43 660 / 512 21 31 E-Mail: r.k...@ovido.at On Fri, 2012-12-07 at 13:55 +, Jonathan Horne wrote: > > > From: Jonathan Horne > Date: Thursday, December 6, 2012 1:04 PM > To: users > Subject: [Users] iscsi mpio > > > > Hello, > > > I just rebooted my iscsi SAN and the ovirt node 2.5.5fc17 did not > enjoy that one bit.
