Bug 457530

There will be a new multipath packages that fixes the scsi_id defaults shortly.

Can you please post you're /etc/multipath.conf file, and the results of running
# multipath -v3
Multipath is using the getuid_callout from the config file just fine for me.

I have two guesses why it doesn't work for you:
1. multipath requires a space between the title of a section in multipath.conf, and the open bracket.  This is know bug and will be fixed.

2. You set the new getuid_callout in the "defaults" section, but you actually have a device with a default device configuration. Check in
/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.8/multipath.conf.defaults

and see if one of the devices with its own default configuration matches your "vendor" and "product" strings.  If so, you need to copy that device config into the a "devices" section in /etc/multipath.conf, and fix getuid_callout there.

This is multipath.conf:

blacklist {
        devnode sda
#        devnode "^sdc"
#        devnode "^sde"
        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]*]"
        devnode "dasd[a-z]+[0-9]*"
}

defaults {
        udev_dir                /dev
        polling_interval        120
        selector                "round-robin 0"
        default_path_grouping_policy    failover
        getuid_callout          "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u /dev/%n"
        prio_callout            /sbin/mpath_prio_emc
        path_checker            emc_clariion
        rr_min_io               100
        rr_weight               priorities
        failback                immediate
        no_path_retry           3
        user_friendly_name      yes
}

multipaths {
        multipath {
                wwid                    36006016026801e004c2fe9bd13afdc11
                alias                   mpath0
                path_grouping_policy    failover
                path_checker            readsector0
                path_selector           "round-robin 0"
                failback                immediate
        }
}

And this is the output of multipath -v3:

I had replaced /sbin/scsi_id with:

#!/bin/bash
a=$*
b=`echo $* | sed s/\-s// | sed s/block/dev/`
/sbin/scsi_id.backup $b

and renamed scsi_id to scsi_id.backup so that it worked.

Now, I undid that, and added a device stanza (copied from the defaults file) to multipath.conf, like this:

device {
        vendor                  "DGC"
        product                 "*"
        bl_product              "LUN_Z"
        path_grouping_policy    group_by_prio
        getuid_callout          "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u /dev/%n"
        prio_callout            "/sbin/mpath_prio_emc /dev/%n"
        hardware_handler        "1 emc"
        features                "1 queue_if_no_path"
        path_checker            emc_clariion
        failback                immediate
}

Also, now I notice, I'm on device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-16.fc9.i386 not 0.4.8

the config_space_fix.patch isn't right.  I have a conf file that tries to overwrite certain device parameters, which this patch then parses the device as  being blacklisted instead.  I can see it in "show config" in multipathd and my parameters don't get recognized.  If I revert, things are "ok".

Zing, can you post your /etc/multipath.conf file, so that I can try to reproduce it on my machine. If you post it as an attachment, then there will be no chance of having the whitespace changed.

Thanks.

Here's my current multipath.conf that gets incorrectly parsed.

This is what my "show config" looks like for the above.

Oops. There was a regression in the config_space_fix.patch. Thanks for pointing it out, Zing.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
