Thank you, I'll take a look...


OK, I've noticed the following:

Feb 25 11:29:55 rhel5r300 multipathd: 8:16: reinstated
Feb 25 11:29:55 rhel5r300 multipathd: 8:32: reinstated
Feb 25 11:29:55 rhel5r300 multipathd: 8:48: reinstated
Feb 25 11:29:55 rhel5r300 multipathd: 8:64: reinstated


How often are these messages supposed to repeat? Because I've succeded
with one combination of HostType in StorageTek 2530 configuration for
initiators, and RDAC on the Linux side. But I had messages like these
every few minutes in /var/log/messages.
