How to setup / use multipathing on SLES. Information Preamble: The procedure described within this article is only supported on SLES9 SP2 level and higher. Earlier releases may not work as expected. Note: Please see the SLES 11 SP1: Storage Administration Guide for current information on this topic. 1. The Multipath IO (MPIO) support in SLES9 (SP2) is based on the Device Mapper (DM) multipath module of the Linux kernel, and the multipath-tools user-space package. DM MPIO is the preferred form of MPIO on SLES9 and the only option completely supported by Novell/SUSE.
DM MPIO features automatic configuration of the MPIO subsystem for a large variety of setups. The framework is extensible both via specific hardware handlers (see below) or via more sophisticated load balancing algorithms than round-robin. The user-space component takes care of automatic path discovery and grouping, as well as automated path retesting, so that a previously failed path is automatically reinstated when it becomes healthy again. 2. 3. 4. 5.
