Configuration file: /etc/multipath.conf [2][edit]
- System level defaults (defaults): User can override system level defaults.
- Blacklisted devices (blacklist): User specifies the list of devices that is not to be under the control of DM-MPIO.
- Blacklist exceptions (blacklist_exceptions): Specific devices to be treated as multipath devices even if listed in the blacklist.
- Storage controller specific settings (devices): User specified configuration settings will be applied to devices with specified "Vendor" and "Product" information.
- Device specific settings (multipaths): Fine tune the configuration settings for individual LUNs.
Routing policies implemented: failover, multibus and group_by_serial[edit]
- failover : 1 path per priority group. IO thus get routed to one path only.
- multibus : 1 priority group containing all paths to the LU. Brings the maximum spreading, but assumes that all paths are excitable without penalty.
- group_by_serial : 1 priority group per storage controller (serial), paths through one controller are assigned to the associated PG. This policy applies to controllers that impose a latency penalty on LU management hand-over between a pair of redundant controllers.
To modify a policy for device major 8 and minor:
multipath -p multibus -D 8 0
