dmMultipath failures during SAN maintenence
We're running OVM 3.3.3 over 4 OVS hosts.
During a scheduled maintenance of our SAN, a SAN controller (one of 2 redundant controllers) was rebooted.
We noted that after the SAN controller went down, on two (of four) OVS hosts, a number of errors were reported in /var/log/messages:
Feb 12 08:17:09 OVS_Server_02 multipathd: uevent trigger error
