Hello! We have a 3-node database cluster running Oracle supporting a data warehouse application. To get the thruput we need, we have 4 dual-port HBAs, and the hosts are zoned to 8 or 12 array ports. This ends up giving us a huge # of paths for
DM to manage: root@dbxx [/nfshome/jwasilko ] multipathd paths count Paths: 6000 Busy: False We’re running OEL 6.3, and: device-mapper-multipath-libs-0.4.9-64.0.1.el6.x86_64 device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-64.0.1.el6.x86_64 We’ve seen issues like high CPU usage when paths return, and we’re struggling to understand why we see a 30 second I/O stall across all paths when one path is failed (by disabling the switch port in the FC switch). Here’s our multipath.conf: blacklist { devnode "*" } blacklist_exceptions { devnode "sd*" } defaults { user_friendly_names yes find_multipaths yes fast_io_fail_tmo 1 dev_loss_tmo 30 checker_timeout 10 failback immediate rr_weight uniform no_path_retry fail max_fds 8192 path_checker tur #rr_min_io 8 rr_min_io_rq 8 polling_interval 5 path_grouping_policy multibus path_selector "round-robin 0" } devices { device { vendor "VIOLIN" product "SAN ARRAY" path_grouping_policy group_by_serial getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace --page=0x80 --device=/dev/%n" features "1 queue_if_no_path" hardware_handler "0" } device { vendor "3PARdata" product "VV" path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker tur no_path_retry 12 features "0" hardware_handler "0" path_selector "round-robin 0" #path_selector "queue-length 0" rr_weight uniform rr_min_io 100 failback immediate # fast_io_fail_tmo 1 # dev_loss_tmo 30 } } Thanks, -jeff A little more detail on the # of luns we have: root@dbxx [/nfshome/jwasilko ] multipathd show multipaths status name failback queueing paths dm-st write_prot dbxx-data-prd-t2-78 immediate 12 chk 48 active rw
