Procedure
1. Verify that the node that the multipathd event occurred against is the passive
management node. If the node that experiences the multipathd problems is the
active node, then perform the management node failover procedure. See
“Performing management node role failover on a “good” system” on page 184.
2. Reboot the file module. See “Rebooting a file module” on page 91.
Diagnosing a multipath event
The multipath -ll command verifies that all storage devices are either active or
not active.
The following output shows that all storage devices are active.
[root@yourmachine.mgmt001st001 ~]# multipath -ll
array1_sas_89360007 (360001ff070e9c0000000001989360007) fm-0 IBM,2073-720

\_ round-robin 0 [prio=10][enabled]

array1_sas_89380009 (360001ff070e9c0000000001b89380009) fm-1 IBM,2073-720
[size=3.1T][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw]

\_ 6:0:0:2 sdd 8:48 [active][ready]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=10][enabled]
\_ 8:0:0:2 sdi 8:128 [active][ready]
The following output shows that the storage devices are not active.
[root@kd27lf6.mgmt002st001 ~]# multipath -ll
mpathq (360050768029180b06000000000000007) dm-8 IBM,2145

The output [active][ready] identifies an active device. The output failed ready
running identifies a device that is not active.
