Hi,
I've configured multipath but I'm confused with the following. When I
run "multipath -v2" I don't get any output, but if I run "multipath
-v3" I get lot's of output e.g.:

Does that mean multipath is working on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb? Is the
lack of output for "multipath -v2" a concern?
Thanks
Dan
Yes, multipath -l may not show anything. multipath -v3 should always
show similar to the output above, and what you see is that it found two
paths to the same device, which is good. It is also going to round
robin reads and writes, which is also good.
You may want to customize things a bit to make it easier to remember, or
in case you add another unit or device.
I would suggest adding at least these to /etc/multipath.conf:
multipaths {
multipath {
uuid 3600c0ff000d7ba4f4575b24a01000000
failback immediate
rr_min_io 1000
alias san1
}
devices {
device {
vendor "HP"
product "MSA2"
features "1 queue_if_no_path"
path_checker tur
}
}
This creats the device: /dev/mapper/san1 which can then be partitioned
and mkfs.
Good Luck!
