1、安装多路径软件包：
device-mapper-1.02.67-2.el5
device-mapper-event-1.02.67.2.el5
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-48.el5
[root@RKDB01 Server]# rpm -ivh device-mapper-1.02.67-2.el5.x86_64.rpm
warning: device-mapper-1.02.67-2.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 37017186

package device-mapper-1.02.67-2.el5.x86_64 is already installed
[root@RKDB01 Server]# rpm -ivh device-mapper-event-1.02.67-2.el5.x86_64.rpm

package device-mapper-event-1.02.67-2.el5.x86_64 is already installed
[root@RKDB01 Server]# rpm -ivh device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-48.el5.x86_64.rpm
warning: device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-48.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 37017186
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-48.el5.x86_64 is already installed
2、设置开机启动，并检查安装包是否正常：
chkconfig --level 345 multipathd on
lsmod |grep dm_multipath
[root@RKDB01 Server]# chkconfig --level 345 multipathd on [root@RKDB01 Server]# lsmod |grep dm_multipath dm_multipath 58969 0 scsi_dh 42561 1 dm_multipath dm_mod 102417 4 dm_mirror,dm_multipath,dm_raid45,dm_log [root@RKDB01 Server]#
3、配置multipathd 使其正常工作，编辑/etc/multipath.conf，开放如下内容：
defaults {
udev_dir /dev
polling_interval 10
selector "round-robin 0"
path_grouping_policy multibus
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
prio_callout none
path_checker readsector0
rr_min_io 100
max_fds 8192
rr_weight priorities
failback immediate
no_path_retry fail
user_friendly_names yes
}
blacklist {
wwid 26353900f02796769
devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
devnode "^hd[a-z]"
}
4、并关闭如下内容
#blacklist {
# devnode "*"
#}
#defaults {
27 # user_friendly_names yes
28 #}
5、完成之后执行如下命令发现多路径：
[root@RKDB01 Server]# modprobe dm-multipath [root@RKDB01 Server]# multipath -F [root@RKDB01 Server]# multipath dm-multipath [root@RKDB01 Server]# multipath dm-round-robin [root@RKDB01 Server]# service multipathd restart 正在关闭multipathd 端口监控程序： [确定] 正在启动守护进程multipathd： [确定] [root@RKDB01 Server]# multipath -v2 [root@RKDB01 Server]# multipath -v2 [root@RKDB01 Server]# multipath -ll mpath1 (3600d02310000011b16a5d57c6a1bd99a) dm-0 TOYOU,NetStor_iSUM510 [size=3.3T][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][ena bled] \_ 1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [failed][ready] \_ 1:0:1:0 sdc 8:32 [failed][ready] [root@RKDB01 Server]#
6、重启服务器后，我们可以看到多路径信息了：
[root@RKDB01 ~]# ll /dev/mapper/ 总计 0 crw------- 1 root root 10, 60 11-05 22:35 control brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 0 11-05 22:35 mpath1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 1 11-05 22:35 mpath2 [root@RKDB01 ~]# multipath -ll mpath2 (3600d02310000011b76128b9c63138cf4) dm-1 TOYOU,NetStor_iSUM510 [size=3.2T][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][active] \_ 1:0:0:1 sdc 8:32 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:1:1 sde 8:64 [active][ready] mpath1 (3600d02310000011b16a5d57c6a1bd99a) dm-0 TOYOU,NetStor_iSUM510 [size=20G][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][active] \_ 1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [active][ready] \_ 1:0:1:0 sdd 8:48 [active][ready]
7、通过fdisk 看可以生成了DM-0/DM-1两个盘，正是上面sdc/sde,sdb/sdd多路径后出来的：
[root@RKDB01 ~]# fdisk -l

Partition 4 has different physical/logical endings:

[root@RKDB01 ~]#
8、我们同时也可以在/dev/mapper目录中查看到多路径映射的信息：
[root@RKDB01 ~]# ll /dev/mapper/ 总计 0 crw------- 1 root root 10, 60 11-06 00:49 control brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 2 11-06 00:49 data-data001 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 0 11-06 00:49 mpath1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 1 11-06 00:49 mpath2
