A.1.7. La cible de mappage « multipath »

La cible de mappage « multipath » prend en charge le mappage d'un périphérique multipath. Le format de la cible multipath est comme suit :

start length  multipath  #features [feature1 ... featureN] #handlerargs [handlerarg1 ... handlerargN] #pathgroups pathgroup pathgroupargs1 ... pathgroupargsN

Il existe un ensemble de paramètres pathgroupargs pour chaque groupe de chemins.

start

bloc de démarrage du périphérique virtuel

length

longueur de ce segment

#features

Nombre de fonctionnalités multipath, suivi par celles-ci. Si ce paramètre est à zéro, alors il n'y a aucun paramètre feature et le paramètre de mappage de périphérique qui suit est #handlerargs. Une seule fonctionnalité multipath est prise en charge à l'instant présent, queue_if_no_path. Ceci indique que le périphérique multipath est actuellement réglé pour mettre les opérations d'E/S en file d'attente s'il n'y a aucun chemin disponible.

Par exemple, si l'option no_path_retry dans le fichier multipath.conf a été réglé pour mettre les opérations d'E/S en file d'attente uniquement lorsque tous les chemins on été marqués comme étant en échec, et aprés qu'un certain nombre de tentatives d'emprunt de ces chemins n'ait été réalisé, le mappage apparaitra comme suit jusqu'à ce que toutes les vérification des vérificateurs de chemins aient échoué.

0 71014400 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 2 1 round-robin 0 2 1 66:128 \
1000 65:64 1000 round-robin 0 2 1 8:0 1000 67:192 1000

Une fois que les vérificateurs de chemins auront échoué à vérifier le nombre spécifié de vérifications, le mappage apparaitra comme suit.

0 71014400 multipath 0 0 2 1 round-robin 0 2 1 66:128 1000 65:64 1000 \
round-robin 0 2 1 8:0 1000 67:192 1000

#handlerargs

Nombre d'arguments du gestionnaire du matériel, suivis par ceux-ci. Un gestionnaire de matériel spécifie un module qui sera utilisé pour effectuer des actions spécifiques au matériel lorsque vous basculez d'un groupe de chemins à un autre ou lors de la gestion d'erreurs d'E/S. S'il est réglé sur 0, alors le paramètre qui suit sera #pathgroups.

#pathgroups

Nombre de groupes de chemins. Un groupe de chemins est l'ensemble des chemins sur lesquels un périphérique mutlipath équilibre les charges. Il existe un ensemble de paramètres pathgroupargs pour chaque groupe de chemins.

pathgroup

Le prochain groupe de chemins à essayer.

pathgroupsargs

Chaque groupe de chemins est composé des arguments suivants :

pathselector #selectorargs #paths #pathargs device1 ioreqs1 ... deviceN ioreqsN 

Il y a un ensemble d'arguments de chemins pour chaque chemin du groupe de chemins.

pathselector

Spécifie l'algorithme à utiliser pour déterminer quel chemin dans ce groupe de chemins doit être utilisé pour la prochaine opération d'E/S.

#selectorargs

Nombre d'arguments du sélecteur d'arguments qui suit cet argument dans le mappage multipath. Actuellement, la valeur de cet argument est toujours 0.

#paths

Nombre de chemins dans ce groupe de chemins.

#pathargs

Nombre d'arguments de chemin spécifiés pour chaque chemin dans ce groupe. Actuellement, ce nombre est toujours 1, l'argument ioreqs.

device

Numéro du périphérique bloc du chemin, référencé par les numéros majeur et mineur sous le format major:minor

ioreqs

Nombre de requêtes d'E/S à acheminer vers ce chemin avant de basculer sur le chemin suivant du groupe actuel.

Figure A.1, « Cible de mappage multipath » montre le format d'une cible multipath avec deux groupes de chemins

Figure A.1. Cible de mappage multipath

L'exemple suivant montre une définition de cible de basculement pure pour le même périphérique multipath. Dans cette cible, il y a quatre groupes de chemins, avec seulement un chemin ouvert par groupe de chemins, et ce de manière à ce que le périphérique multipath n'utilise qu'un seul chemin à la fois.

0 71014400 multipath 0 0 4 1 round-robin 0 1 1 66:112 1000 \
round-robin 0 1 1 67:176 1000 round-robin 0 1 1 68:240 1000 \
round-robin 0 1 1 65:48 1000

L'exemple suivant montre une définition de cible en étalement complet (multibus) pour le même périphérique multipath. Dans cette cible, il n'y a qu'un seul groupe de chemins, qui inclut tous les chemins. Dans cette installation, multipath étale les charges de manière uniformément sur tous les chemins.

0 71014400 multipath 0 0 1 1 round-robin 0 4 1 66:112 1000 \
 67:176 1000 68:240 1000 65:48 1000

    # "remove" - Simply remove the faulty device and run without it.  If
    #            the log device fails, the mirror would convert to using
    #            an in-memory log.  This means the mirror will not
    #            remember its sync status across crashes/reboots and
    #            the entire mirror will be re-synced.  If a
    #            mirror image fails, the mirror will convert to a
    #            non-mirrored device if there is only one remaining good
    #            copy.
    #
    # "allocate" - Remove the faulty device and try to allocate space on
    #            a new device to be a replacement for the failed device.
    #            Using this policy for the log is fast and maintains the
    #            ability to remember sync state through crashes/reboots.
    #            Using this policy for a mirror device is slow, as it
    #            requires the mirror to resynchronize the devices, but it
    #            will preserve the mirror characteristic of the device.
    #            This policy acts like "remove" if no suitable device and
    #            space can be allocated for the replacement.
    #
    # "allocate_anywhere" - Not yet implemented. Useful to place the log device
    #            temporarily on same physical volume as one of the mirror
    #            images. This policy is not recommended for mirror devices
    #            since it would break the redundant nature of the mirror. This
    #            policy acts like "remove" if no suitable device and space can
    #            be allocated for the replacement.

    # the snapshot, in percent of its current size.
