Procedure

1. View the default configuration value and supported devices:

   # multipathd show config

2. Edit the /etc/multipath.conf file to set up your multipath configuration. Below is an example for the DM Multipath configuration for HP OPEN-V Storage Device:

   # Set default configurations for all devices managed by DM Multipath
   
   defaults {
       # Enable user-friendly names for devices
       user_friendly_names yes
   }
   
   devices {
       # Define configuration for HP OPEN-V storage
       device {
           vendor "HP"
           pproduct "OPEN-V"
           no_path_retry 18
       }
   }

3. Save your changes and close the editor.

   # multipath -r
