## Multipath
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To leverage multiple paths for block storage, it is important to perform the
|
||
|
|
multipath configuration on the host.
|
||
|
|
If your distribution does not provide `/etc/multipath.conf`, then you can
|
||
|
|
either use the following minimalistic one:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
defaults {
|
||
|
|
find_multipaths yes
|
||
|
|
user_friendly_names yes
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or create a new one by running:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ mpathconf --enable
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally you'll need to ensure to start or reload and enable multipath:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ systemctl enable multipathd.service
|
||
|
|
$ systemctl restart multipathd.service
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:** Any change to `multipath.conf` or enabling multipath can lead to
|
||
|
|
inaccessible block devices, because they'll be claimed by multipath and
|
||
|
|
exposed as a device in /dev/mapper/*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some additional informations about multipath can be found in the
|
||
|
|
[iSCSI documentation](iscsi/README.md)
