Hi,
I'm new to device mapper and trying to set a multipath target:
I'm connected to the same LUN over iSCSI in 2 paths:
Here's the output of sg_map:
sg_map -i -x
/dev/sg0 3 0 0 0 0 /dev/sda DotHill SANnet II FC 411I
/dev/sg1 4 0 0 0 0 /dev/sdb DotHill SANnet II FC 411I
I ran the following command:
multipath 2 round-robin 1 0 /dev/sda round-robin 1 0 /dev/sdb
If I understand correctly, the 1st priority group contains /dev/sda. The
2nd priority group contains /dev/sdb. If /dev/sda fails, traffic should
automatically move to /dev/sdb. Is that right?
Here's the out put of multipath -l:
3600c0ff00000000007c1d121c397f503
[size=10 GB][features=0][hwhandler=0]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][active]
\_ 3:0:0:0 sda 8:0 [active][undef]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled]
\_ 4:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [active][undef]
What does 8:0 & 8:16 mean? What is 3600c0ff00000000007c1d121c397f503?
Now, assuming that what I did so far is ok, how do I use the multipath
device? Do I use /dev/sda (or /dev/sdb)?
Thanks in advance
