3.2. Ignoring Local Disks when Generating Multipath Devices
Some machines have local SCSI cards for their internal disks. DM-Multipath is not recommended for these devices. The following procedure shows how to modify the multipath configuration file to ignore the local disks when configuring multipath.
- Determine which disks are the internal disks and mark them as the ones to blacklist.In this example,
/dev/sdais the internal disk. Note that as originally configured in the default multipath configuration file, executing themultipath -v2shows the local disk,/dev/sda, in the multipath map.For further information on themultipathcommand output, see Section 5.1, “Multipath Command Output”.[root@rh4cluster1 ~]#

/dev/sdain its multipath maps, edit thedevnode_blacklistsection of the/etc/multipath.conffile to include this device. Although you could blacklist thesdadevice using adevnodetype, that would not be safe procedure since/dev/sdais not guaranteed to be the same on reboot. To blacklist individual devices, you can blacklist using the WWID of that device.Note that in the output to themultipath -vscommand, the WWID of the/dev/sdadevice is SIBM-ESXSST336732LC____F3ET0EP0Q000072428BX1. To blacklist this device, include the following in the/etc/multipath.conffile.devnode_blacklist { wwid SIBM-ESXSST336732LC____F3ET0EP0Q000072428BX1 } - Run the following commands:
multipath -F multipath -v2
The local disk or disks should no longer be listed in the new multipath maps, as shown in the following example.[root@rh4cluster1 ~]#
