High latency on VNX5300 with multipath and ALUA
All hosts are connected to the same array, as follow:
host A (multipath) ----> FC switch ----> VNX5300 ----> ERROR
host B (multipath) ----> FCOE switch ----> VNX5300 --> ERROR
OS: centos6 and centos7
All hosts are up to date and this is our multipath configuration suggested by EMC:
# RHEV REVISION 1.1
# RHEV PRIVATE
devices {
device {
vendor "DGC"
product ".*"
product_blacklist "LUNZ"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
path_selector "round-robin 0"
path_checker emc_clariion
features "1 queue_if_no_path"
hardware_handler "1 alua"
prio alua
failback immediate
rr_weight uniform
no_path_retry 60
rr_min_io 1
}
}
The command multipath -ll hung when executed on the host while the problem occur (nothing logged in /var/log/messages or dmesg).
I tested latency with ioping:
ioping /dev/6a386652-629d-4045-835b-21d2f5c104aa/metadata
Usually it return "time=15.6 ms", sometimes return "time=19 s" (yes, seconds)
Any idea or suggestion?
Thanks
Stefano
