Hi,
a little update:
The command multipath -ll hung when executed on the host while the problem
occur (nothing logged in /var/log/messages or dmesg).
I tested latency with ioping:
ioping /dev/6a386652-629d-4045-835b-21d2f5c104aa/metadata
Usually it return "time=15.6 ms", sometimes return "time=19 s" (yes,
seconds)
Systems are up to date and I tried both path_checker (emc_clariion and
directio), without results.
(
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/139193, it refers to the Rev A31 of
EMC document; last is A42 and suggest emc_clariion).
Any idea or suggestion?
Thanks,
Stefano

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/139193 suggest that for alua, the
patch checker needs to be different.
Anyway, it is very likely that you have storage issues - they need to be
resolved first and I believe they have little to do with oVirt at the
moment.
