rdac path failure - Sun 6140

rdac path failure - Sun 6140

[Stewart Smith]

Hello All,

I am seeing many of these messages when my Sun 6140 array is under heavy I/O
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.
device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:208.


I am running a Fedora 10 server, with two fiber connections to two
different switches.  Both controllers on the 6140 have one connection
to each switch as well.  The end result is that I see four paths to
each LUN.

When the volume is mounted and under significant load I see the
messages above every few seconds.  They seem to appear every
"no_path_retry" seconds.

The 6140 controller firmware is up to date at version 07.50.08.10 and
I have installed the latest firmware for my Emulex LPe11002 cards.  I
have reproduced the problem using both Cisco MDS and Brocade fiber
channel switches as well.

Using CAM, I have set the initiator Host Type to "Linux" at the
moment.  I have tried other options as well without success.

I have NOT installed the RDAC drivers from either Sun or LSI -
primarily because they do not seem to build on my Fedora 10 kernel.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

configs and debugging multipathd output is below.

[Moger, Babu]

Do you have /var/log/messages file for this problem?

Re: rdac path failure - Sun 6140

RE: rdac path failure - Sun 6140

[Moger, Babu]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 17359 bytes --]

Stew,
     I don't see much information about this failure in the logs. Right now device handlers don't provide much information on failures.  We are working on to add some more debug levels.  I am attaching my draft code (scsi_dh_rdac.c) here.  Please use this only for your testing. It is not been approved/reviewed yet. I still need to submit this one to community for approval. The code is attached.  Please replace this file with scsi_dh_rdac.c in the directory /driver/scsi/device_handlers and rebuild the kernel.  This should give more information from the target point of view. Please send me the /var/log/messages file after the failure. Let see if we can get more information..

Thanks
Babu Moger

Re: rdac path failure - Sun 6140

[Stewart Smith]

I will test this today.

Does everything look OK from a configuration standpoint?  Should the
RDAC virtual HBA drivers from LSI be a requirement?  I am not
currently using them.

Thank you,

Re: rdac path failure - Sun 6140

[Stewart Smith]

Interesting.

I just grabbed 2.6.30.4 from kernel.org and I can no longer reproduce
the issue with that kernel.  I did not add in your debugging version
of scsi_dh_rdac.c yet.

Somewhere between vmlinuz-2.6.29.4-167.fc11 and the generic 2.6.30.4
(using the same kernel .config) this problem was fixed.

Its now running over 350 MB/s with 16 sequential writers using both
active paths.




# fio --filename=/san0/vol1/test --direct=1 --rw=write --bs=8m
--size=32G --numjobs=16 --runtime=60 --group_reporting --name=file1
