Hi all,

I'm experiencing problems trying to set up a multipathd config with a EMC Clariion CX-4 Storage.
It seems that the CX4 is actually active/passive regarding SPs. My server  has QLogic Fiber Cards. My multipath-tools version is 0.4.8.
Here is my multipath.conf :

defaults {
                user_friendly_names   yes
}
blacklist {
                #devnode "*"
                devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
                devnode "^hd[a-z][[0-9]*]"
                devnode "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*[p[0-9]*]"
}
devices {
                device {
                               vendor                                "DGC  "
                               product                                               "*"

                }
}

multipaths {

                multipath {
                               wwid                                    360060160174026008cf8cef961cde011
                               alias                                      NPCD
                }

                multipath {
                wwid                    36006016017402600f2ed610b62cde011
                alias                   NDO
        }

                multipath {
                wwid                    360060160174026000c984cc67acde011
                alias                   NAGIOS
        }


}

And here is the result of a multipath -ll :

So when trying to write on a virtual device /dev/mapper/NAGIOS (for exemple) I see many I/O errors on 'faulty disks'. When tresspassing LUNs on the clariion, I see ready disks becoming faulty and faulty ones becoming ready ... I also have udevd (udev-work) burning my CPUs while trying to rename '/dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0xetcetc...udev-tmp'
What's wrong with my config ? Am I missing something ?
Thx by advance for your help,
Regards,

Cordialement,
