一、多路径解释 多路径，顾名思义就是有多种选择的路径。在SAN或IPSAN环境，主机和存储之间外加了光纤交换机，这就导致主机和存储之间交换速度和效率增强，一条路径肯定是不行的，也是不安全不稳定的。多路径就是要来解决从主机到磁盘之间最快，最高效的问题。主要实现如下几个功能
故障的切换和恢复
IO流量的负载均衡
磁盘的虚拟化
多路径之前一直是存储厂商负责解决，竟来被拆分出来单独卖钱了。
构架基本是这样的：存储，多路径软件，光纤交换机，主机，主机系统。
二、LINUX下的multipath
1、查看是否自带安装？
[root@web2 multipath]# rpm -qa|grep device
device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5
device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-34.el5
device-mapper-event-1.02.39-1.el5
[root@web2 multipath]#
2、安装
rpm -ivh device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5.rpm #安装映射包
rpm -ivh device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-34.el5.rpm #安装多路径包
外加加入开机启动
chkconfig –level 2345 multipathd on #设置成开机自启动multipathd
lsmod |grep dm_multipath #来检查安装是否正常
3、配置
# on the default devices. blacklist { devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*" devnode "^hd[a-z]" } devices { device { vendor "HP" path_grouping_policy multibus features "1 queue_if_no_path" path_checker readsector() failback immediate } }<br><br>完整的配置如下： blacklist { devnode "^sda" } defaults { user_friendly_names no } multipaths { multipath { wwid 14945540000000000a67854c6270b4359c66c272e2f356321 alias iscsi-dm0 path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker tur path_selector "round-robin 0" } multipath { wwid 14945540000000000dcca2eda91d70b81edbcfce2357f99ee alias iscsi-dm1 path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker tur path_selector "round-robin 0" } multipath { wwid 1494554000000000020f763489c165561101813333957ed96 alias iscsi-dm2 path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker tur path_selector "round-robin 0" } multipath { wwid 14945540000000000919ca813020a195422ba3663e1f03cc3 alias iscsi-dm3 path_grouping_policy multibus path_checker tur path_selector "round-robin 0" } } devices { device { vendor "iSCSI-Enterprise" product "Virtual disk" path_grouping_policy multibus getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" path_checker readsector0 path_selector "round-robin 0" } } |

5、启动关闭
# /etc/init.d/multipathd start #开启mulitipath服务
service multipath start
service multipath restart
service multipath shutdown
6、如何获取wwid
1、
[root@vxfs01 ~]# cat /var/lib/multipath/bindings
# Multipath bindings, Version : 1.0
# NOTE: this file is automatically maintained by the multipath program.
# You should not need to edit this file in normal circumstances.
#
# Format:
# alias wwid
#

2、
[root@vxfs01 ~]# multipath -v3 |grep 3600
