The message
"device config in /etc/multipath.conf missing vendor or product
parameter"
was due to the empty device section (actually containing lines with
comments)So it was solved removing the whole section.
Now, my full multipath.conf is this
# head -2 /etc/multipath.conf
# VDSM REVISION 2.0
# VDSM PRIVATE
# cat /etc/multipath.conf | grep -v "^#" | grep -v "^ #" | sed
'/^[[:space:]]*$/d'

no_path_retry 16

Rebuilt the initrd and put online
I would recommend you to put your customizations at
'/etc/multipath/conf.d/<somename>.conf' (you have to create the dir),
so vdsm can keep multipath.conf up to date.
For details check the header of multipath.conf
Here is mine:
# The recommended way to add configuration for your storage is to add
a# drop-in configuration file in
"/etc/multipath/conf.d/<mydevice>.conf".# Settings in drop-in
configuration files override settings in this# file.
Of course you need to rebuild dracut.
dracut -f /boot/$(imgbase layer --current)/initramfs-$(uname -r).img
cp -p /boot/$(imgbase layer --current)/initramfs-$(uname -r).img
/boot/
reboot the host and it seems ok with the command
lsinitrd -f etc/multipath.conf /boot/initramfs-4.18.0-
240.8.1.el8_3.x86_64.img
and also confirmed by
multipathd show config
But anyway I see this
# multipath -l
36090a0c8d04f21111fc4251c7c08d0a3 dm-13 EQLOGIC,100E-00
size=2.4T features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
`-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=0 status=active
|- 16:0:0:0 sdc 8:32 active undef running
`- 18:0:0:0 sde 8:64 active undef running
36090a0d88034667163b315f8c906b0ac dm-12 EQLOGIC,100E-00
size=2.0T features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
`-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=0 status=active
|- 15:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 active undef running
`- 17:0:0:0 sdd 8:48 active undef running
so in my opinion it is still using queue if no path...
What else can I try to debug this? Or is the expected output in
CentOS 8? What is the command to verify no_path_retry is effectively
set for this device in CentOS8?
On the host still in 7 I have this for the same two luns:
# multipath -l
36090a0c8d04f21111fc4251c7c08d0a3 dm-14 EQLOGIC ,100E-00
size=2.4T features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
`-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=0 status=active

`- 18:0:0:0 sde 8:64 active undef running
