hello All, I know the issue is related to libvirt,but i dont know where to ask.

The libvirt mailing list is the place to ask libvirt questions. I have CCed it.

i have centos 6.6 running KVM as compute node in openstack icehouse

when i try to attach volume to instance it shows

2596: error : virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse:952 : Failed to open file '/dev/mapper/Mar': No such file or directory

in libvirt log

This does not always happen when it happens no one will be able to attach volume to instance

using EMC VNX as storage backend.

multipath.conf

Can any one help me with this issue

You may need to check dmesg or logs related to the EMC storage. In particular, check for LUNs going offline, coming online, or the multipath device changing state. Stefan
