AIX

Hi Guys,

i'm having trouble changing the path-priority. Now both priorities are 1 as you can see in the lspath-output.

Any ideas why the chpath command fails?

# chpath -l hdisk3 -p fscsi1 -a priority=10
Method error (/etc/methods/chgdisk):
0514-080 Invalid routine argument detected.

config:
# lspath | grep hdisk3
Enabled hdisk3 fscsi0
Enabled hdisk3 fscsi1

#lspath -El hdisk3 -p fscsi1
scsi_id 0xa11a00 SCSI ID False
node_name 0x5006048c52a51cc9 FC Node Name False
priority 1 Priority True

# lspath -El hdisk3 -p fscsi0
scsi_id 0x3d0600 SCSI ID False
node_name 0x5006048c52a51cc6 FC Node Name False
priority 1 Priority True

# lspv
hdisk3 none None

# lsdev | grep hdisk3
hdisk3 Available 07-08-01 EMC Symmetrix FCP MPIO Raid5


thanx!

Hi,
we are using Powepath instead of MPIO so I can't test anything but all I could find on Google is, that people use priority 1 and 2, not 0 and 1. Maybe try something else than "10" as value for priority. Or maybe you have just to pass a "0" instead of a "10".

thank you.
I tried different priorities but keep getting the same error message.

Maybe have a look at Tek-Tips Forums 's AIX subforum. They got some good knowledge there too.

Hi, thanx for the tip and I posted my question there also
