Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): U3 beta How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure default install per http://people.redhat.com/nayfield/storage 2. multipath -ll Actual results: two priority groups, one path per group (aka 'failover') Expected results: one priority group, with two paths (aka 'multibus') Additional info: either multibus should be used as the default, -or- multipath.conf should show that failover is the default storage is Vendor: DotHill Model: SANnet RAID X300 Rev: 0315
Yep: Put a comment at the top of the multipath.conf file explaining that these are just examples. And pointing the user to multipath.annotated.conf for instructions and multipath.defaults.conf for the default settings.
Fixed. There is now a note at the top of the config file
