chpath method error?

[raba73]

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!

Perhaps the allowed priority number is less than 10?

hi,

assigning a lower priority results in the same error

Hi,
I think :
the only argument of priority is 1 or 2
1 is higher priority
for changing to lower priority
chpath -l hdisk3 -p fscsi1 -a priority=2

priorities of more than 2 should be possible.
see output below:

# lspath -El hdisk11 -p fscsi0
scsi_id 0x3d0600 SCSI ID False
node_name 0x5006048c52a51cc6 FC Node Name False
priority 1 Priority True
