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/sda
is the internal disk. Note that as originally configured in the default multipath configuration file, executing themultipath -v2
shows the local disk,/dev/sda
, in the multipath map.For further information on themultipath
command output, see Section 5.1, “Multipath Command Output”.Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow - In order to prevent the device mapper from mapping
/dev/sda
in its multipath maps, edit thedevnode_blacklist
section of the/etc/multipath.conf
file to include this device. Although you could blacklist thesda
device using adevnode
type, that would not be safe procedure since/dev/sda
is 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 -vs
command, the WWID of the/dev/sda
device is SIBM-ESXSST336732LC____F3ET0EP0Q000072428BX1. To blacklist this device, include the following in the/etc/multipath.conf
file.devnode_blacklist { wwid SIBM-ESXSST336732LC____F3ET0EP0Q000072428BX1 }
devnode_blacklist { wwid SIBM-ESXSST336732LC____F3ET0EP0Q000072428BX1 }
