Description of problem: Path failure messages are seen during the creation of a snapclone/snapshot for a LUN. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-17.el5 How reproducible: This can be reproduce by creating a snapclone/snapshot for a LUN and constantly monitoring the path status.Paths are seen to be failed for a fraction of time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a snapclone/snapshot for a LUN. 2.Check the path status during this process. Actual results: Paths are seen to be going down for some time. Expected results: Path failures are not expected during this process. Additional info: Creation of a snapclone/snapshot for a LUN returns a Unit Attention with a changed Inquiry data,for TUR. With this, the checker marks the path as down. But,these conditions can be retried for a fixed number of times to see if it is corrected and then the paths marked accordingly.
