Hi all,
I have a test system running with OIa7, very much ram, 2 LSI SAS 9207-4i4e
hba's, 1 sm jbod containing seagate 3Tb sas drives.
I have enabled the multipathing with stmsboot and set it to use
logical-blocksize, since round-robin symmetric-option isn't functioning.
During tests I can see that the system sees the two path's with mpathadm and
simple dd tests show that all disks are all accessed at almost maximum speed
with minimum latency according to iostat.
We started to test with 4 sas disks in 2 striped mirrors.
All good, but shouldn't it be possible to pull one of the sas cables without
any disruption to the storage, forcing it to use only one path? (this way
simulating a broken hba).
When we do this, the whole system grinds to a screeching halt, being almost
unresponsive.
What am I doing wrong. Maybe somebody can point in in the right direction to
troubleshoot.
Rgrds,
Randy
