Hello,
I've had several requests about loadbalancing coupled with failover for
dm multipathing. I know with failover you get just failover, and
multibus you get just load balancing, but I was wondering if there was a
hybrid option for load balancing that would handle a failed path
gracefully. Thanks much,
Failed paths are handled quite gracefully in all grouping policies.
That said, other stock grouping policies are at your disposal :
group_by_serial or group_by_node_name or the special group_by_prio that
let you do your own grouping policy with callouts (shell scripts or
whatever).
Please have a look at the documentation available.

Hmm, then perhaps I've been seeing errant behavior, b/c everytime
somebody uses multibus and they fail a path they get a bunch of IO
errors and the FS is remounted, but if they use failover and pull the
active connection, there are no errors and the failover is seamless. I
shall investigate further on what they are seeing. Thank you,
Josef
