Dell MD3600F



Hi all,
I have a new dell md3600f ( 2 controller ) fiber channel storage, two qlogic 2560 single port HBAs and two brocade 300 switches. FC cables are redundant connected between switches and storage controllers.
 
I have installed multipath-tools and configured my multipath.conf file. I couldn't find and understand  the "mpath_prio_rdac" file. There isn't the file on the disk and repos. 
What / Where is the file?

The multipath software and failover mechanism are work fine. But I get lot of failures at computer boot time and when after down/up the switch port. These failures are shown as  "Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block" in kern.log but there is no problem on runtime and I can access to the all disk volume on the storage. 

My system is debian/squeeze. How can I solve this problem?

The multipath.conf file content is below:

defaults {
        udev_dir                /dev
        max_fds                 8192
        user_friendly_names     yes
}

blacklist {
    # System disks
    device {
        vendor ATA
        product *
    }   
    device {
        vendor SAMSUNG
        product *
    }
}

multipaths {
        multipath {
                wwid                  12340000004ea0984ee33874712347238
                alias                   test_vol1
        }
}

devices {
        device {
                vendor                  "DELL"
                product                 "MD36xxf"
                path_grouping_policy   group_by_prio
                prio                        rdac
                polling_interval        5
                path_checker            rdac
                path_selector           "round-robin 0"
                hardware_handler        "1 rdac"
                failback                immediate
                #features               "2 pg_init_retries 50"
                no_path_retry           30
                rr_min_io               100
                prio_callout            "/sbin/mpath_prio_rdac /dev/%n"
                getuid_callout          "/lib/udev/scsi_id --whitelisted --device=/dev/%n"
        }
}
