4.11. Setting multipath values for all devices

Procedure

1. Override device specific settings. For example, you might want all devices to set no_path_retry to fail. Use the following command to turn off queueing, when all paths have failed. This overrides any device specific settings.

   overrides {
           no_path_retry fail
   }

2. Validate the /etc/multipath.conf file after modifying the multipath configuration file by running one of the following commands:

   • To display any configuration errors, run:

     # multipath -t > /dev/null

   • To display the new configuration with the changes added, run:

     # multipath -t

3. Reload the /etc/multipath.conf file and reconfigure the multipathd daemon for changes to take effect:

   # service multipathd reload
