Justin, I had this same problem What is going on is, lvm using only one path, because of the way your lvm.conf is configured. These are the changes I made to solve this problem. - scan = [ /dev/ ] + scan = [ /dev/, /dev/mapper ] - filter = [r|/dev/.*/by-path/.*|, r|/dev/.*/by-id/.*|,

To further explain. LVM when it loads up it sees duplicate PVs, because of the /dev/sda disks and your /dev/mapper multipath device. It uses the /dev/sd** disk instead of the /dev/mapper. By changing the filter to ignore /dev/sd* you prevent that from happening. Sorry, got a call and

David, I just grabbed the kernel rpm from novell's site (since my guests don't have outside access) and applied the RPMs. That has solved my problem across the board, where an interrupt rate of 5000/sec was normal they are all now at 105 or less. Deric

Hi, I have an issue with one of my linux guests (sles10) where when we enable HADR with db2 the HADR db guest interrupt rate jumps from a few thousand to 300,000 per second. This causes the guest to be using 20-30% of one IFL, despite doing very little. Has anyone seen this issue before, or

Thanks everyone for your help! Based on everything I've read, I concluded to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.16.60-0.37. That has solve our issue. As for the db2fmcd process, I did not find that running nor in the /etc/inittab, so no changes were made there. Thanks again, Deric
