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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2012:0746 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE qemu-kvm bug fix and enhancement update 2012-06-19 19:31:48 UTC

Description daiwei 2012-03-08 13:38:03 UTC 
Description of problem:


use local image as guest disk,attached twice on different virtio-scsi-pci.In guest we get different wwid,so can't configure multipath.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -r;rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-246.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.236.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot a guest with one local raw image attached twice,like
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.2.0 -cpu cpu64-rhel6 -enable-kvm -m 2G -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1 -name win2003sp2 -uuid 125b7bc8-1b37-49e9-9a33-7e8917c34b88 -rtc base=localtime,driftfix=slew -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -drive file=/home/RHEL6.3_20120304.n.0_x86_64_0308.qcow2,if=none,id=scsi0,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=native -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=sysscsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -device scsi-hd,drive=scsi0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup-switch -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=00:1a:4a:42:1a:52,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/wdai-test,server,nowait -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm -spice port=9000,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=33554432 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,addr=0x7  -boot c -monitor stdio -drive file=/home/datadisk.raw,if=none,format=raw,id=datadisk1 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsipci1 -device scsi-hd,drive=datadisk1,serial=test -drive file=/home/datadisk.raw,if=none,format=raw,id=datadisk2 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsipci2 -device scsi-hd,drive=datadisk2,serial=test

2.in guest check wwid
# scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace --device=/dev/sdb
# scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace --device=/dev/sdc

3.
  
Actual results:
after get different wwids

0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_datadisk1
0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_datadisk2

So,can't configure multipath.

Expected results:

should get the same wwids.

Additional info:

If there are other ways to configure multi-path, please correct me.
Thanks
Comment 2 Paolo Bonzini 2012-03-16 18:10:17 UTC 
On real hardware:

$ sudo sg_inq -p 0x80 /dev/sda
VPD INQUIRY: Unit serial number page
  Unit serial number:             5TG11QWL
$ sudo sg_inq -p 0x83 /dev/sda
VPD INQUIRY: Device Identification page
  Designation descriptor number 1, descriptor length: 24
    designator_type: vendor specific [0x0],  code_set: ASCII
    associated with the addressed logical unit
      vendor specific:             5TG11QWL

So if a serial is provided we must use it in page 0x83.  Better do it before 6.3 so that we don't change guest-visible properties later.

Reproduced and verified this issue with the same steps as weidai.
Reproduced this issue with the environment and test results as following: 
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-251.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.241.el6.x86_64
Actual results:

# scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace --device=/dev/sdb
0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_datadisk1
# scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace --device=/dev/sdc
0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_datadisk2

Verified this issue with the environment and test results as following: 
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-251.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.267.el6.x86_64

Actual results:
# scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace --device=/dev/sdb
0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_test
# scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace --device=/dev/sdc
0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_test

Above all, this issue has been fixed.
