Can you expand on your setup ? 1 array with 8 ports zoned from the array to the host ? 2 arrays with remote copy and peer persistence with 4 ports from each array zoned to the host ? Can you also paste your hosts persona on the array (or arrays) - it should be Generic-ALUA Persona 2 And also your /etc/multipath.conf file. Looking at the output, the priorities detected for the path groups looks odd .. once you post your config it'll be easier to work out. |

Hello, I think it is related to kernel used. When I was playing with PP on Centos 7.6, then there was problem with PP until I installed elrepo kernel-lt. Probably something related to NPIV support in kernel 3.10.x. These days we use Oracle Linux 7.7 with kernel-uek. |
