RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michael Potyandy 2011-09-07 16:24:03 UTC 
Description of problem: When booting SANboot RHEL 6.0 DMMP with the SANboot LUN owned by the alternate path on the storage array along with having LUNs mapped from multiple arrays, the OS begins to boot but then hangs reporting "INFO: task jbd2/dm-67-8:3367 blocked for more than 120 seconds." 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.0

How reproducible:
The issue occurs everytime when trying to boot the SANboot LUN from the alterate path with additional LUNs mapped.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create 80 GB LUN (for SANboot).
2. Install OS to the SANboot LUN.
3. The SANboot LUN as well as 64 additional LUNs (32 from each array) are mapped to the host
3. Host is restarted to configure hba to boot from alternate controller
4. Reboot host.
  
Actual results:
The host begins to boot but hangs with message "INFO: task jbd2/dm-67-8:3367 blocked for more than 120 seconds."

Expected results:
OS boots up without any issues.

Additional info: We are seeing this issue using a QMI8142 Manteo FCoE HBA going to DS3500 and DS5300 arrays; iSCSI using Emulex eRaptor CNA (P/N: 49Y4235) going to two DS3500 arrays; and an IBM HS22 Blade server using a Meteorite (IBM P/N 43W3974) SAS pass-thru adapter going to DS3500 and DS3200 arrays.
Comment 2 Ben Marzinski 2011-09-08 20:16:15 UTC 
There were some problems with both device-mapper-multipath and anaconda in RHEL 6.0, which could have caused them. This looks like it could be 644111. Would it be possible for you to retest this with 6.1?
Comment 3 Michael Potyandy 2011-09-08 20:43:00 UTC 
We won't be able to try with 6.1 for probably another week or two with any of the same HBAs.  We were able to successfully SANboot from the alternate controller with volumes mapped on RHEL 6.1 using an Emulex fibre channel 8Gb Tetra (LPe1205-CIOv) HBA.
Comment 8 Abdel Sadek 2011-12-06 21:04:07 UTC 
Adding IBM.
Comment 10 Michael Potyandy 2011-12-20 21:27:53 UTC 
We do not see the issue on RHEL 6.1 or 6.2 using different HBAs/CNAs.  We have successfully booted from the alternate path with additional LUNs mapped using an Emulex fibre channel 8Gb (LPe1205-CIOv), Brocade Wanchese CNA (BR-1020) with FCoE, and 4Gb QLogic (QMI2472) & Emulex (LP1105-BC) HBAs.
Comment 11 Ben Marzinski 2012-01-04 19:43:54 UTC 
So, can this be closed?
Comment 13 Michael Potyandy 2012-05-10 21:07:02 UTC 
Yes, this can be closed.
