+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #282131 +++ Description of problem: Currently, the prio patch for NetApp bundled in RHEL is mpath_prio_netapp. There have been some code fixes: * sg_timeount value increased. * Enhnacement to error handling Apart from that, for business reasons NetApp has decided to rename the prio patch from mpath_prio_netapp to mpath_prio_ontap. We'd like to see this included in U1. The patch has been created again RHEL5.1 Snapshot 4. (multipath-tools-0.4.7.rhel5.7) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-12.el5 --- Additional comment from rsarraf on 2007-09-07 06:05:32 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=189641) New Prio Patch for NetApp --- Additional comment from coughlan on 2007-09-07 15:48:19 EDT --- Sorry, we are nearing the final 5.1 build. Only super-critical fixes are going in. This does not qualify. I will queue this for consideration in 5.2. --- Additional comment from bmarzins on 2007-09-10 12:43:54 EDT --- I have no problem will adding the code fixes from this bug. I don't think that we are able to completely remove the mpath_prio_netapp callout during the RHEL 5 timeframe. However, I can add the mpath_prio_ontap callout, and make one a symlink of the other, and have the default configuration and the example files point to mpath_prio_ontap. This will mean that everyone who hasn't manually configured device-mapper-multipath to use mpath_prio_netapp, will automatically start using mapth_prio_ontap. --- Additional comment from andriusb on 2007-09-12 15:39:11 EDT --- This bugzilla is now NetApp confidential, and all others on CC have been removed. --- Additional comment from andriusb on 2007-09-12 16:11:28 EDT --- NetApp has corrected me that this is indeed not a confidential bug. Adding back those removed from CC. --- Additional comment from bmarzins on 2007-10-09 01:14:38 EDT --- I've pulled in the codefixes from the patch in comment #1 --- Additional comment from bmarzins on 2007-10-09 18:05:36 EDT --- There is now a fc8 bug (325251) for removing the netapp callout in favor of the ontap callout. For 5.2 mpath_prio_ontap will just be a symlink to mpath_prio_netapp. --- Additional comment from marting on 2007-10-10 04:59:55 EDT --- Actually mpath_prio_netapp should be a symlink to mpath_prio_ontap, and not the other way around. --- Additional comment from bmarzins on 2007-10-10 12:53:07 EDT --- Fine. switched. --- Additional comment from pm-rhel on 2007-10-15 23:41:30 EDT --- This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products.
