Hi

I have a couple of hosts connected to a DELL MD3200i with multipath configured for two connections per host.

If I unplug the active iSCSI cable and execute multipath -ll at the same time, it takes over 2 minutes to get the result which then shows the connection as failed and the failover as active.

If I have a VM running that is store on the iSCSI array, it hags for 2 minutes until the failover kicks in.

Is that normal or do I still have a lot more work to do?

thanks
Gordon
