LUN mapped to the RHEV storage domain shows different WWID

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • LUN mapped to the RHEV storage domain shows different WWID.
  • For example, there is a LUN with WWID - 360000aabbccddee8000000012345678912 mapped from storage array, but multipath -ll on RHEV host shows different WWID. Checking the SCSI ID of underlying path shows correct WWID:

    $ multipath -ll|less
    360000aabbccddee8000000012345678913 dm-222 EMC     ,SYMMETRIX
    size=2.0T features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
    `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=1 status=active
      |- 2:0:3:53 sdkr 66:496  active ready running
      |- 1:0:2:53 sdks 67:256  active ready running
      |- 1:0:4:53 sdlw 68:480  active ready running
      `- 2:0:4:53 sdlv 68:464  active ready running
    [...]
    

    Note the WWID 360000aabbccddee8000000012345678913 in above snip.
    The paths do not report same WWID:

    $ /lib/udev/scsi_id -gu /dev/sdks
    360000aabbccddee8000000012345678912 <--- This is the correct WWID as mapped from storage side
    
    $ /lib/udev/scsi_id -gu /dev/sdlw
    360000aabbccddee8000000012345678912
    
    $ /lib/udev/scsi_id -gu /dev/sdkr
    360000aabbccddee8000000012345678912
    
    $ /lib/udev/scsi_id -gu /dev/sdlv
    360000aabbccddee8000000012345678912
