Subject: [suse-sles-e] Multipathing on SUSE 9.3

Hi,

I need help on enabling multipath on my SUSE 9.3.

OS : SUSE 9.3

Multipath tool : multipath-tools-0.4. 0

Fiber Channel Adapter : QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for QLA2342:
                                   Firmware version 3.03.08 IPX,
Driver version 8.00.02b4-k

Storage Subsystem : vendor = ADTX
                                    model = AXRR-LH000FF-DEE

My system already detected 2 devices /dev/sda and /dev/sdb

I know this storage subsystem is new and might require more
configurations for multipath.

I just successfully installed multipath tools and did some steps.

I did the following configurations

1) Edited multipath.conf and add the above device.

2) edited /etc/sysconfig/kernel and follow some steps on this site
    http://support.novell.com/techcenter/sdb/en/2005/04/sles_multipathing.html

3) issuing multipath -v2 -d command display no output even error messages.

The question is how to enable multipath tools on the said machine? Is
their anything I missed on the said configuration? BTW, this part of
/etc/sysconfig/kernel

INITRD_MODULES="cciss reiserfs qla2xxx"

I didn't add cciss because in the example, it is intended only for
compaq machine raid subsystems.
