Issue

  • Multipath aliases were working fine. After creating an udev rule with parameters owner/group/mode and NAME multipath device would not be found after reboot.

    • Multipath alias was configured as
    multipath {
                    wwid 350002ac004113ab6
                    alias mydevice
    
    • Udev rule was as follows
    KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660", ACTION=="add|change", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id --whitelisted --device=/dev/$name", RESULT=="350002ac004033ab6", NAME="oradevice"
