Hi, I would like to run my ideas by this list about multipathing and the results as far as storage speed is concerned. I'm using multipathing to two iSCSI targets pointing to the same storage. It was my understanding that this provides for network path redundancy (and it does, I tested this) but also for added speed. I did some tests with Bonnie++ however while both paths were active and one path was down and the results are basically the same. Am I assuming wrong things? Or have I configured things wrong? This is my config for now: defaults { udev_dir /dev polling_interval 10 selector "round-robin 0" path_grouping_policy multibus getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" prio const path_checker directio rr_min_io 100 max_fds 8192 rr_weight priorities failback immediate no_path_retry 5 user_friendly_names no } blacklist { wwid 26353900f02796769 devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*" devnode "^hd[a-z][[0-9]*]" devnode "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*[p[0-9]*]" device { vendor DEC.* product MSA[15]00 } } multipaths { multipath { wwid 1494554000000000000000000010000000000000002000000 alias lx03 } multipath { wwid 1494554000000000000000000010000000100000002000000 alias ws033 } multipath { wwid 1494554000000000000000000010000000200000002000000 alias ms01 } } Thank you!!
