Are these disks connected to multiple hosts? Please share the output of: vdsm-client Host getDeviceList ... Where do I find the protocol multipath thinks the drives are using ? multipath.conf(5) says: The protocol strings that multipath recognizes are scsi:fcp, scsi:spi, scsi:ssa, scsi:sbp, scsi:srp, scsi:iscsi, scsi:sas, scsi:adt, scsi:ata, scsi:unspec, ccw, cciss, nvme, and undef. The protocol that a path is using can be viewed by running multipathd show paths format "%d %P" So this should work: blacklist_exceptions { protocol "(scsi:fcp|scsi:iscsi|scsi:sas)" } The best way to make this change is to create a dropin conf file, and not touch /etc/multipath.conf, so vdsm will be able to update later. $cat /etc/multipath/conf.d/local.conf blacklist_exceptions { protocol "(scsi:fcp|scsi:iscsi|scsi:sas)" } I hope it works for overriding vdsm configuration, if not, you will need to change /etc/multipath.conf, and mark it as VDSM_PRIVATE like this; $ head -3 /etc/multipath.conf # # VDSM REVISION 1.6 # VDSM PRIVATE Once it works, I suggest to file a bug to support sas disks by default.

If you SAS drives are attached to the host using FC or iSCSI, you are fine. If your drives are connected in another way, you probably need to edit /etc/multipath.conf. The current setting is: blacklist_exceptions { protocol "(scsi:fcp|scsi:iscsi)" } You may need to change this to get multipath to grab these disks.
