Multipath call failed exit
==========================

Problem
~~~~~~~

Multipath call failed exit. This warning occurs in the Compute log
if you do not have the optional ``multipath-tools`` package installed
on the compute node. This is an optional package and the volume
attachment does work without the multipath tools installed.
If the ``multipath-tools`` package is installed on the compute node,
it is used to perform the volume attachment.
