[ovirt-users] Multipath flapping with SAS via FCP
Hi,
I have some troubles with multipath.
When I add SAS disk over FCP as Storage Domain via oVirt WebUI,
The first link as active, but the second is stuck as failed.
Volum disk is provided from Dell Compellent via FCP, and disk is transported in SAS.
multipath is flapping in all hypervisor from the same domain disk:

VDSM generate multipath.conf like this ( I have remove commented lines for read confort )
:
[root@isildur-adm ~]# cat /etc/multipath.conf
# VDSM REVISION 2.0
# This file is managed by vdsm.
defaults {
polling_interval 5
no_path_retry 16
user_friendly_names no
flush_on_last_del yes
fast_io_fail_tmo 5
dev_loss_tmo 30
max_fds 4096
}
blacklist {
protocol "(scsi:adt|scsi:sbp)"
}
no_path_retry 16
}
Have you some idea why this link is flapping on my two hypervisor?
Thanks a lot in advance.
