1.4. DM-Multipath Setup Overview
DM-Multipath includes compiled-in default settings that are suitable for common multipath configurations. Setting up DM-multipath is often a simple procedure.
The basic procedure for configuring your system with DM-Multipath is as follows:
- Install
device-mapper-multipathrpm. - Edit the
multipath.confconfiguration file:- comment out the default blacklist
- change any of the existing defaults as needed
- save the configuration file
- Start the multipath daemons.
- Create the multipath device with the
multipathcommand.
Detailed setup instructions for several example multipath configurations are provided in see Chapter 3, Setting Up DM-Multipath.
