SAN based logical volumes are not activated at boot time

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When rebooting the system, SAN based logical volumes are not activated, causing the system to drop to Emergency shell
  • Tried adding _netdev, but this has not helped (solution 38249)
  • In single user mode, we run the multipath command and eventually paths respond, and mpath devices are created.
  • From here, system boots normally

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
