From: Rajashekhar M A Subject: I/O errors for ALUA state transitions References: bnc#491289 Patch-mainline: not yet When a SLES11 host is configured with a few LUNs and IO is running, injecting FC faults repeatedly leads to path recovery problems. The LUNs have 4 paths each and 3 of them come back active after say an FC fault which makes two of the paths go down, instead of all 4. This happens after several iterations of continuous FC faults. Reason here is that we're returning an I/O error whenever we're encountering sense code 06/04/0a (LOGICAL UNIT NOT ACCESSIBLE, ASYMMETRIC ACCESS STATE TRANSITION) instead of retrying.
