Zoning:
- There are two HBAs. Each HBA is plugged into a separate Brocade DCX switch,
and each switch is connected to a different fabric (Fabric A and Fabric B
respectively)
- The storage array presenting the luns is also directly connected to the same
switches, in each Fabric via 4 ports (Array ports 1A,3A,6A,8A -> Fabric A;
Ports 2A,4A,5A,8A -> Fabric B).
- Each HBA is zoned so as to see two storage array ports (2 in each fabric).
Basically this means that when I disable the FC port an HBA is connected to, it
loses two paths to the lun.
HBA1 -> DCX 1 (Fabric A) -> 3A,6A
HBA2 -> DCX 2 (Fabric B) -> 4A,5A
Blacklisting:
Thanks for pointing this out - (note that I only added in the 'SMART'
vendor/product after the problem initially exhibited - in an effort to
remove the warning regarding a USB flash storage device that appeared in
the multipath -ll output. It _shouldn't_ be a factor).
Fixed now, initrd updated. Reboot/testing later today (likely in about
3 hours' time).
