Re: Multipath not using multiple NICs at once

I tried "service-time 0", but it didn't seem to change. I ran "multipath -ll" and it still shows policy="round-robin 0". I restarted the multipath service, but no luck.

Here's my current config after some suggested changes from the #device-mapper channel on freenode:

defaults {
        path_grouping_policy    multibus
        path_selector           readsector0
        polling_interval        3
        path_selector           "service-time 0"
        failback                immediate
        features                "0"
        no_path_retry           1
        rr_weight               uniform
        rr_min_io_rq            1
#       user_friendly_names     yes
}

Have you tried changing this to queue-length or service-time?

Hello,

I'm fairly new to multipath and I am having an issue with it not using all of my NICs. Currently, my node has 4 gigE NICs to my storage network and the SAN has 8 gigE NICs to the same network and I am attempting to setup multipath with ISCSI in order to utilize more than 1 gigabit connection. However, when I use nload to check the network usage, you can see the traffic hop around the NICs. For example, data would send for 2-3 seconds on eth1, then stops and starts on eth2, then stops and starts back up on eth3. All perfectly distributed, but in this setup, unable to reach beyond the capacity of a 1 gigabit connection.

I have each NIC on a different network (e.g. 10.1.1.0/24 for eth1, 10.1.2.0/24 for eth2, etc.). Netstat shows that the connections are being made each to different IPs:

(10.1.*.8 is the node and 10.1.*.241 is the SAN)

Here is my /etc/multipath.conf:

defaults {
        path_grouping_policy    multibus
        path_selector           readsector0
        polling_interval        3
        path_selector           "round-robin 0"
        failback                immediate
        features                "0"
        no_path_retry           1
        rr_weight               uniform
        rr_min_io               100
#       user_friendly_names     yes
}

Both servers are running Ubuntu 12.04LTS.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
