NAME

multipath − Device mapper target autoconfig

SYNOPSIS

multipath [−v verbosity] [−d] [−h|−l|−ll|−f|−F] [−p failover|multibus|group_by_serial|group_by_prio|group_by_node_name] [device]

DESCRIPTION

multipath is used to detect multiple paths to devices for fail-over or performance reasons and coalesces them

OPTIONS

−v level

verbosity, print all paths and multipaths

0

no output

1

print the created or updated multipath names only, for use to feed other tools like kpartx

2 +

print all info : detected paths, coalesced paths (ie multipaths) and device maps

−h

print usage text

−d

dry run, do not create or update devmaps

−l

show the current multipath topology from information fetched in sysfs and the device mapper

−ll

show the current multipath topology from all available information (sysfs, the device mapper, path checkers ...)

−f

flush a multipath device map specified as parameter, if unused

−F

flush all unused multipath device maps

−p policy

force maps to specified policy:

failover

1 path per priority group

multibus

all paths in 1 priority group

group_by_serial

1 priority group per serial

group_by_prio

1 priority group per priority value. Priorities are determined by callout programs specified as a global, per-controller or per-multipath option in the configuration file

group_by_node_name

1 priority group per target node name. Target node names are fetched in /sys/class/fc_transport/target*/node_name.

device

update only the devmap the path pointed by device is in. device is in the /dev/sdb (as shown by udev in the $DEVNAME variable) or major:minor format. device may alternatively be a multipath mapname

NOTES

a map may be unused if, eg, the file system on it is not mounted or there are no open file descriptors against the device file, as in a raw device.
