2.2 Checking the device-mapper multipath
After they have been enabled, confirm the device-mapper multipath settings.
2.2.1 Recognizing the Post device-mapper multipath LUNs
Check the device file created by the device-mapper multipath.
Example:
# ls -l /dev/mapper/
total 0
crw-rw----. 1 root root 10, 58 Apr 14 09:01 control
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Apr 14 09:01 mpathh -> ../dm-1
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Apr 14 09:01 mpathi -> ../dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Apr 14 09:01 mpathj -> ../dm-5
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Apr 14 09:01 mpathk -> ../dm-6
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Apr 14 09:01 mpathl -> ../dm-3
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Apr 14 09:01 mpathm -> ../dm-2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Apr 14 09:01 mpathn -> ../dm-4
2.2.2 Checking the device-mapper multipath Status and Created Devices
Check the path status using the "multipath -ll" command. Check that the recognized status of the devices for
all the paths that are assigned to the server is normal.
•
Multipath is in normal status (This example shows when two paths are used to connect to the ETERNUS
DX80)
Check that multipathing is configured in the two block devices and "active ready" is displayed for each path
status.
# multipath -ll
mpathh (3600000e00d0000000001000000200000) dm-1 FUJITSU,ETERNUS_DXL
size=2.0G features=’1 queue_if_no_path’ hwhandler=’0’ wp=rw
|-+- policy=’round-robin 0’ prio=50 status=active

‘-+- policy=’round-robin 0’ prio=10 status=enabled
‘- 2:0:0:0 sdi 8:128 active ready running
When the path status is
normal, "active ready" is displayed.
Two block device names are
displayed for a two-path configuration.
