Hi INFO: ---------- I have a system with two fibre channel devices and device-mapper-multipathing with the following config: 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_callout /bin/true path_checker readsector0 rr_min_io 100 rr_weight priorities failback immediate no_path_retry fail user_friendly_name yes } devnode_blacklist { devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*" devnode "^hd[a-z]" devnode "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*" } multipaths { multipath { wwid xxxxxxxxx (censured) alias yellow path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker readsector0 path_selector "round-robin 0" failback manual rr_weight priorities no_path_retry 5 } multipath { wwid xxxxxxxxx alias green path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker readsector0 path_selector "round-robin 0" failback manual rr_weight priorities no_path_retry 5 } multipath { wwid xxxxxxxxx alias blue path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker readsector0 path_selector "round-robin 0" failback manual rr_weight priorities no_path_retry 5 } multipath { wwid xxxxxxxxx alias red path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker readsector0 path_selector "round-robin 0" failback manual rr_weight priorities no_path_retry 5 } } Now i have four logical device maps: multipath -l yellow (xxxxxxxxx) [size=10 GB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="0"] \_ round-robin 0 [active] \_ 0:0:0:0 sda 8:0 [active][ready] \_ 0:0:1:0 sdb 8:16 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:0:0 sdi 8:128 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:1:0 sdj 8:144 [active][ready] green (xxxxxxxxx) [size=10 GB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="0"] \_ round-robin 0 [active] \_ 0:0:4:0 sde 8:64 [active][ready] \_ 0:0:5:0 sdf 8:80 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:4:0 sdm 8:192 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:5:0 sdn 8:208 [active][ready] blue (xxxxxxxxx) [size=4 GB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="0"] \_ round-robin 0 [active] \_ 0:0:2:0 sdc 8:32 [active][ready] \_ 0:0:3:0 sdd 8:48 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:2:0 sdk 8:160 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:3:0 sdl 8:176 [active][ready] red (xxxxxxxxx) [size=4 GB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="0"] \_ round-robin 0 [active] \_ 0:0:6:0 sdg 8:96 [active][ready] \_ 0:0:7:0 sdh 8:112 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:6:0 sdo 8:224 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:7:0 sdp 8:240 [active][ready] ---------- Now to my problem: I made a file /etc/volume_disk1: # Ofs Size Raid Log Number Region Should Number Source Start Taget Start # in of the type type of log size sync? of Device in Device in # vol volume params mirrors Device Device 0 20971520 mirror core 2 2048 sync 2 /dev/mapper/yellow 0 /dev/mapper/green 0 Then i made dmsetup create disk1 /etc/volume_disk1. So i have the following: dmsetup info Name: yellow State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 1 Event number: 1 Major, minor: 253, 0 Number of targets: 1 UUID: mpath-xxxxxxxxx Name: green State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 1 Event number: 1 Major, minor: 253, 2 Number of targets: 1 UUID: mpath-xxxxxxxxx Name: blue State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 1 Event number: 1 Major, minor: 253, 1 Number of targets: 1 UUID: mpath-xxxxxxxxx Name: red State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 1 Event number: 1 Major, minor: 253, 3 Number of targets: 1 UUID: mpath-xxxxxxxxx Name: disk1 State: ACTIVE Tables present: LIVE Open count: 0 Event number: 0 Major, minor: 253, 8 Number of targets: 1 Questions: --> How make i to do the disk1 come up on boot, so that i can use it in the fstab file? Is this the right way to do a mirror on a multipath device? I have made a new initrd with mkinitrd but the device-mapper didn't find my mirrors... Thanks!
