multipath v0.4.5
RHEL ES4 U2
2.6.9-22
we have dm-mulitpath setup and everything works fine. noticing tho, that upon bootup, devices aren't created. (/dev/mapper doesnt have the alises). we would have to run 'multipath' then 'mount -a' to mount up the devices.
i've been looking on line to see how to have the system take care of this during boot up so that once it's finished booting up, it'll scan so that those mounts will be there automatically.
there were mentions that it's taken care of in /etc/rc.sysinit, and i see entries in there for multipath, so im not sure why its not working.
any ideas? lemme know if you need more info.
from rc.sysinit:
# LVM2 initialization
if [ -x /sbin/lvm.static -o -x /sbin/multipath -o -x /sbin/dmraid ]; then
if ! LC_ALL=C fgrep -q "device-mapper" /proc/devices 2>/dev/null ; then
modprobe dm-mod >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
echo "mkdmnod" | /sbin/nash --quiet >/dev/null 2>&1
[ -n "$SELINUX" ] && restorecon /dev/mapper/control >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
if [ -c /dev/mapper/control ]; then
if [ -f /etc/multipath.conf -a -x /sbin/multipath ]; then
modprobe dm-multipath >/dev/null 2>&1
/sbin/multipath -v 0
fi
if [ -x /sbin/dmraid ]; then
modprobe dm-mirror > /dev/null 2>&1
/sbin/dmraid -i -a y
fi
if [ -x /sbin/lvm.static ]; then
if /sbin/lvm.static vgscan --mknodes --ignorelockingfailure > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
action $"Setting up Logical Volume Management:" /sbin/lvm.static vgchange -a y --ignorelock

thanks.
