Ignorant les disques locaux
-
Ajout de plus de périphériques au fichier de configuration
Setting Up DM-Multipath
Avant de configurer DM-Multipath sur votre système, assurez-vous que celui-ci ait été mis à jour et inclut le paquet multipath-tools. Si vous voulez que le démarrage soit fait depuis le SAN (réseau de stockage), le paquet multipath-tools-boot est également requis.
A basic /etc/multipath.conf need not even exist, when multpath is run without an accompanying /etc/multipath.conf, it draws from it's internal database to find a suitable configuration, it also draws from it's internal blacklist. If after running multipath -ll without a config file, no multipaths are discovered. One must proceed to increase the verbosity to discover why a multipath was not created. Consider referencing the SAN vendor's documentation, the multipath example config files found in /usr/share/doc/multipath-tools/examples, and the live multipathd database:
To work around a quirk in multipathd, when an /etc/multipath.conf doesn't exist, the previous command will return nothing, as it is the result of a merge between the /etc/multipath.conf and the database in memory. To remedy this, either define an empty /etc/multipath.conf, by using touch, or create one that redefines a default value like:
defaults {
user_friendly_names no
}
# systemctl restart multipath-tools.service
Installation avec la prise en charge Multipath
To enable multipath support during installation use
install disk-detect/multipath/enable=true
Ignoring Local Disks When Generating Multipath Devices
Some machines have local SCSI cards for their internal disks. DM-Multipath is not recommended for these devices. The following procedure shows how to modify the multipath configuration file to ignore the local disks when configuring multipath.
-
Determine which disks are the internal disks and mark them as the ones to blacklist. In this example, /dev/sda is the internal disk. Note that as originally configured in the default multipath configuration file, executing the multipath -v2 shows the local disk, /dev/sda, in the multipath map. For further information on the multipath command output, see Section Multipath Command Output.
# multipath -v2 create: SIBM-ESXSST336732LC____F3ET0EP0Q000072428BX1 undef WINSYS,SF2372 size=33 GB features="0" hwhandler="0" wp=undef `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=undef |- 0:0:0:0 sda 8:0 [--------- device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument device-mapper ioctl cmd 14 failed: No such device or address create: 3600a0b80001327d80000006d43621677 undef WINSYS,SF2372 size=12G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=undef `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=undef |- 2:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 undef ready running `- 3:0:0:0 sdf 8:80 undef ready running create: 3600a0b80001327510000009a436215ec undef WINSYS,SF2372 size=12G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=undef `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=undef |- 2:0:0:1 sdc 8:32 undef ready running `- 3:0:0:1 sdg 8:96 undef ready running create: 3600a0b80001327d800000070436216b3 undef WINSYS,SF2372 size=12G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=undef `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=undef |- 2:0:0:2 sdd 8:48 undef ready running `- 3:0:0:2 sdg 8:112 undef ready running create: 3600a0b80001327510000009b4362163e undef WINSYS,SF2372 size=12G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=undef `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=undef |- 2:0:0:3 sdd 8:64 undef ready running `- 3:0:0:3 sdg 8:128 undef ready running -
In order to prevent the device mapper from mapping /dev/sda in its multipath maps, edit the blacklist section of the /etc/multipath.conf file to include this device. Although you could blacklist the sda device using a devnode type, that would not be safe procedure since /dev/sda is not guaranteed to be the same on reboot. To blacklist individual devices, you can blacklist using the WWID of that device. Note that in the output to the multipath -v2 command, the WWID of the /dev/sda device is SIBM-ESXSST336732LC____F3ET0EP0Q000072428BX1. To blacklist this device, include the following in the /etc/multipath.conf file.
blacklist { wwid SIBM-ESXSST336732LC____F3ET0EP0Q000072428BX1 } -
Après avoir mis à jour le fichier /etc/multipath.conf, vous devez indiquer manuellement au démon multipathd de le recharger. La commande suivante recharge le fichier /etc/multipath.conf qui a été mis à jour.
# systemctl reload multipath-tools.service
-
Exécutez la commande suivante pour supprimer le périphérique multipath :
# multipath -f SIBM-ESXSST336732LC____F3ET0EP0Q000072428BX1
-
To check whether the device removal worked, you can run the multipath -ll command to display the current multipath configuration. For information on the multipath -ll command, see Section Multipath Queries with multipath Command. To check that the blacklisted device was not added back, you can run the multipath command, as in the following example. The multipath command defaults to a verbosity level of v2 if you do not specify a -v option.
# multipath create: 3600a0b80001327d80000006d43621677 undef WINSYS,SF2372 size=12G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=undef `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=undef |- 2:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 undef ready running `- 3:0:0:0 sdf 8:80 undef ready running create: 3600a0b80001327510000009a436215ec undef WINSYS,SF2372 size=12G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=undef `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=undef |- 2:0:0:1 sdc 8:32 undef ready running `- 3:0:0:1 sdg 8:96 undef ready running create: 3600a0b80001327d800000070436216b3 undef WINSYS,SF2372 size=12G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=undef `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=undef |- 2:0:0:2 sdd 8:48 undef ready running `- 3:0:0:2 sdg 8:112 undef ready running create: 3600a0b80001327510000009b4362163e undef WINSYS,SF2372 size=12G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=undef `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=undef |- 2:0:0:3 sdd 8:64 undef ready running `- 3:0:0:3 sdg 8:128 undef ready running
Configuration des périphériques de stockage
By default, DM-Multipath includes support for the most common storage arrays that support DM-Multipath. The default configuration values, including supported devices, can be found in the multipath.conf.defaults file.
If you need to add a storage device that is not supported by default as a known multipath device, edit the /etc/multipath.conf file and insert the appropriate device information.
Par exemple, pour ajouter les informations sur le HP série Open-V, l'entrée ressemble à ceci, où %n est le nom du périphérique :
devices {
device {
vendor "HP"
product "OPEN-V."
getuid_callout "/lib/udev/scsi_id --whitelisted --device=/dev/%n"
}
}
For more information on the devices section of the configuration file, see Section Configuration File Devices.
