Woot. That helped.

Built & installed RELENG_7, but I've got some more wierdness.

First off I've got da0 - da15 showing similar to this:

da0 at isp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <SUN LCSM100_F 0670> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-5 device
da0: 200.000MB/s transfers
da0: Command Queueing Enabled
da0: 138989MB (284650656 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 17718C)

We've got a Sun Storagetek 2540 12-drive array with 4 volumes mapped to
this host. It would appear that it's showing the 4 volumes AND each of
the 12 drives. Is that normal?

Next, I have about 20 of the following errors for each of da1, da2, da3,
da4, da9, da10, da11 & da12.

(da1:isp0:0:0:1): READ(6)/WRITE(6) not supported, increasing
minimum_cmd_size to 10.
(da1:isp0:0:0:1): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
(da1:isp0:0:0:1): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error
(da1:isp0:0:0:1): SCSI Status: Check Condition
(da1:isp0:0:0:1): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:94,1
(da1:isp0:0:0:1): Vendor Specific ASC
(da1:isp0:0:0:1): Unretryable error

What's going on here?

Is there any config I need to to for volume mapping and/or
multipathing? I'm a complete newb when it comes to FC on FreeBSD, so
forgive my ignorance.

Thanks for the help, guys!

I suspect the reason you have 16 disk devices showing up is that you
are running multipath. You will get one da device showing up for each
different path, and if you're running a full multipath environment
that's likely 4 paths per device, which would lead to the 16 disks
(unless they're not the sizes you expect, but I would tend to suspect
its a multipath artifact)

To handle multipath you probably want to look at gmultipath(8).

I'm not sure about READ/WRITE errors. You say they show up for 8
devices? Is it possible that the array is not true active/active
on the controllers? Its possible that half the paths are going to
a controller that is rejecting the I/O until the LUN fails over,
but thats just a guess based on the error message. If you can
look at the controller/bus/target/lun information from dmesg and
see if you can spot a pattern about the path to the LUNs giving
the error that may give a better idea about whats going on.

Regards,

Gary
