# Recommended update for multipath-tools

Announcement ID: SUSE-RU-2025:21142-1  
Release Date: 2025-11-25T16:12:46Z  
Rating: moderate

  * bsc#1253260

  
Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16.0
  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 16.0

  
  
An update that has one fix can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for multipath-tools fixes the following issues:

  * Fixes from upstream 0.11.3 (bsc#1253260)
    * Improved the communication with **udev** and **systemd** by triggering uevents when path devices are added to or removed from multipath maps, or when `multipathd reconfigure` is executed after changing blacklist directives in `multipath.conf`.
    * Failed paths should be checked every `polling_interval`. In certain cases, this wouldn't happen, because the check interval wasn't reset by multipathd.
    * It could happen that multipathd would accidentally release a SCSI persistent reservation held by another node.
    * After manually failing some paths and then reinstating them, sometimes the reinstated paths were immediately failed again by multipathd.
    * Various minor fixes reported by coverity.
