Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
[power9]multipath.conf has usage typo error for checker_timeout
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
device-mapper-multipath-0.8.4-14.el8.ppc64le
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.[root@ibm-p9z-20-lp13 ~]# rpm -qa | grep multipath
device-mapper-multipath-libs-0.8.4-14.el8.ppc64le
device-mapper-multipath-0.8.4-14.el8.ppc64le
2.[root@ibm-p9z-20-lp13 ~]# man multipath.conf
checker_timeout Specify the timeout to use for path checkers and prioritizers, in sec-
onds. Only prioritizers that issue scsi commands use checker_timeout.
Checkers that support an asynchronous mode (tur and directio), will
return shortly after being called by multipathd, regardless of whether
the storage array responds. If the storage array hasn't responded,
mulitpathd will check for a response every second, until checker_time-
out seconds have elapsed.
The default is: in /sys/block/sd<x>/device/timeout
Actual results:
mulitpathd will check......
Expected results:
multipathd will check
Additional info:
