PowerPath cannot past fsck on RHEL5x86_64 kernel 2.6.18-8.el5
HI all,
Im installing my server with Linux RHEL5.1x86_64 kernel 2.6.18-8.el5 and connect to cx3-10c. and also on the Host i install PowerPath 5.1.2 using Qlogic qle2462. After all software installed i have a problem when LUN that i mount from /etc/fstab
/dev/emcpowera1 /sqldata ext3 defaults 1 2
its always make the os not booting properly its always stop with fsck error. but if i remove mounting LUN from /etc/fstab it can run normal.
Is there any way to make emcpowera1 past fsck check on booting. or can someone advice me to make rhel5 can access lun properly with powerpath. maybe please inform me with what kernel 2.6 , hba qlogic version, PowerPath version that can work properly in my environtment
Thanks

I think you have a typo in your failover parameter, it should look like this:
options qla2xxx ql2xfailover=0 ConfigRequired=0
After the modification to the file appropriate for your distribution, a new ramdisk needs to be created and the host rebooted.
For Red Hat distributions, use:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v initrd-$1.img $1
where $1 is the currently running v2.6.x kernel version.
For example:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v initrd-2.6.9-22.ELsmp.img 2.6.9-22.ELsmp
