This is an automated cherry-pick of #4113

/assign joelcapitao

The test needs to be adapted so it doesn't verify that we're on
multipath based on whether the device is `/dev/mapper/mpath` or not,
but instead based on udevadm output.
This verification works whether or not the `user_friendly_names`
option is used while configuring multipath.
In order to have a more generic test, let's not use user-friendly names
while configuring multipath and specify instead a World Wide ID to the
stub device. We also adapt the systemd units accordingly.

Hi @openshift-cherrypick-robot. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a github.com member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

Code Review

This pull request adapts the multipath tests to use non-user-friendly names, which are more stable. The changes involve updating the mpathconf command, using WWN-based device paths in systemd units, and making the multipath verification logic more robust. My review includes a fix for the multipath verification logic and a suggestion to improve maintainability by refactoring hardcoded identifiers. Overall, the changes are in the right direction.

srcdev := string(c.MustSSHf(m, "findmnt -nvr %s -o SOURCE", path))
if !strings.HasPrefix(srcdev, "/dev/mapper/mpath") {
udevinfo := string(c.MustSSHf(m, "udevadm info %s", srcdev))
if !strings.Contains(udevinfo, "/dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-mpath-") && !strings.Contains(udevinfo, "DM_MPATH") {

The output of udevadm info provides symlink paths relative to /dev, not absolute paths. Therefore, the check for "/dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-mpath-" will always fail. The leading /dev/ should be removed to correctly check for the presence of the multipath device symlink.

Suggested change
if !strings.Contains(udevinfo, "/dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-mpath-") && !strings.Contains(udevinfo, "DM_MPATH") {
if !strings.Contains(udevinfo, "disk/by-id/dm-uuid-mpath-") && !strings.Contains(udevinfo, "DM_MPATH") {
