(In reply to Marina Kalinin from comment #0) > Following bz#1793207, please add a comment to current documentation, that > using multipath user friendly names on RHV hosts is not supported. > > We can even restore the warning we used to have in the past: > https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/ > Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.0/html/Administration_Guide/ > Managing_Storage.html#Managing_Storage_Entities Thanks for the link! Where did you get that from? I used web.archive.org [3] to find the a copy of that old warning. I'll add that warning back to our current docs so it's harder to miss. If you're interested, the documentation already covers this topic to some extent, as shown below: The "Customizing Multipath Configurations for SAN Vendors" topic [1] states, "Do not override the user_friendly_names and find_multipaths settings. For more information, see Section 3.6, “Recommended Settings for Multipath.conf” The "Recommended Settings for Multipath.conf" topic [2] states, "When overriding /etc/multipath.conf, Do not override the following settings: * user_friendly_names no - This setting controls whether user-friendly names are assigned to devices in addition to the actual device names. Multiple hosts must use the same name to access devices. Disabling this setting prevents user-friendly names from interfering with this requirement.
