Multipath configuration on Proxmox VE 4.4

[Luca Malaspina]

Hello,

I am setting up Multipath on Proxmox 4.4 following an online guide.

I have got to a point where I have logged in to my iscsi session and confimed that my SAN's virtual disks have mounted.

I have created /etc/multipath.conf and entered the following:

defaults {
polling_interval 2
path_selector "round-robin 0"
path_grouping_policy multibus
uid_attribute ID_SERIAL
rr_min_io 100:q
failback immediate
no_path_retry queue
user_friendly_names yes
}

blacklist {

wwid .*

}

blacklist_exceptions {

wwid "36b083fe000e81b7a00000e5559002bc9"

property "(ID_SCSI_VPD|ID_WWN|ID_SERIAL)"

}

multipaths {

multipath {

wwid "36b083fe000e81b7a00000e5559002bc9"

alias mylun

}

}




​

The next command to run is 'modprobe -v dm_multipath'

I expected to see some sort of result from this but nothing comes up at all.



Is this normal? Does it matter if nothing is displayed? Also what is this command even supposed to do?



All help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Luca

Just try multipath -ll to see your multipath configuration (or errors).
