Created attachment 426692 [details] tar of multipath.conf, modprobe.conf and lvm.conf Description of problem: Hi, I've been trying without success to get boot from san via multipath working. I follow the appropriate steps for the installation (linux mpath vnc), picked the correct multipath device, add the multipath rpm components, install goes smoothly. After reboot I get Seting up Logical Volume Management: Found duplicate PV MAqUF0aK1EUReSv29Uk2Bzrk5DYCOvE: using /dev/sde2 not /dev/sda2 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active [OK] Checking filesystems /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00: clean, 87780/27066368 files, 1418332/27058176 blocks fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 /dev/mapper/mapth0p1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. ..... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Reinstall using linux mpath vnc 2.Pick additional base package device-mapper-multipath since it wasn't selected 3.Install and reboot Actual results: Expected results: Clean boot Additional info: Hopefully I'm not doing something stupid, but HBA bios setup looks good (Qlogic QMH2462). I'm attaching copies of the multipath.conf, lvm.conf and modprobe.conf created on the installed filesystem just before the install reboot.
Hi, I feel this may still be a bug, but I've been notified by the HP storage team that the SAN storage I'm using (MSA2212fc) does not support boot from SAN (not a tested config). That being the case, I need to find alternate storage and then retest, so I"m closing this bug up for now. Thanks, Mark
