[PATCH V2 01/11] libmultipath: add group_by_tpg path_grouping_policy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When we group paths by prio and the priority changes, paths can end up
temporarily in the wrong path groups.  This usually happens when some
paths are down, so their priority can't be updated. To avoid this for
ALUA paths, group them by their target port group instead. The path
groups chosen by this policy won't always match with those chosen by
group_by_prio, since it is possible for multiple ALUA target port
groups to have the same priority.
