Troubleshooting Storage Issues

This section describes how to work around known issues for EVMS devices, software RAIDs, multipath I/O, and volumes.

Section 10.1, “Is DM-MP Available for the Boot Partition?”
Section 10.2, “Rescue System Cannot Find Devices That Are Managed by EVMS”
Section 10.3, “Volumes on EVMS Devices Do Not Appear After Reboot”
Section 10.4, “Volumes on EVMS Devices Do Not Appear When Using iSCSI”
Section 10.5, “Device Nodes Are Not Automatically Re-Created on Restart”

Is DM-MP Available for the Boot Partition?

In the initial release of SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 10, DM-MP is not available for the boot partition, because the boot loader cannot handle multipath I/O. Therefore, we recommend you set up a separate boot (/boot) partition when using multipathing. This issue has been resolved in Support Pack 1 and later.
