Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • 'mpatchconf' command overwrites 'find_multipaths_timeout' in 'multipath.conf' file.
    Original /etc/multipath.conf:
defaults {
  user_friendly_names yes
  find_multipaths yes
  find_multipaths_timeout 10
  enable_foreign "^$"
}
[...]

Execute mpathconf:

# mpathconf --enable --with_multipathd y --find_multipaths strict

Final result:

defaults {
  user_friendly_names yes
  find_multipaths strict
  find_multipaths strict 10
  enable_foreign "^$"
}
[...]
