MD3620 Redhat Multipath

Hi.  new the community so sorry if this is a known problem.  I have a Dell R610 that I'm booting from an MD3620I SAN using eth2 and 3.  It will load and boot etc but it constantly complains about /dev/sdb path being down.

 

mpatha: sdb -directio checker reports path is down

There are a bunch of sense errors etc.  Is there a driver or somehting that I need to install?

btw:  Performance is pretty bad.  25MB/s.  Yikes!

Ok.  So I found the answer.  Once you've installed the OS then you have to download the dkms package from dell at http://linux.dell.com/dkms/.  That was it.  I was able to get almost 40MB/s but I really think I should be able to get more over 1Gb/s connection.  ie if the connection were completely efficient I'd say 125MB/s.  Realistically I'd be happy with 80% of that.
