Hi
I am struggling to get multipath working with Proxmox 4 Beta and a DELL MD3000i over iSCSI. I haven't tried with Proxmox 3 but I assume it isn't a beta issue and just me not grasping it.
I think I am getting close to the goal. The first issue I find is the following errors after running multipath -ll
Although the multipath seems to see the four paths to the SAN, I am a little worried about the errors at the start of the output.
Here is my multipath.conf:
Ignoring those errors I have tried to create a volume mapped to the multipath devices but I get:
dm-3 amd dm-4 do exist in /dev
Anybody know what I am missing?
thanks

Although the multipath seems to see the four paths to the SAN, I am a little worried about the errors at the start of the output.
Here is my multipath.conf:
Code:
blacklist {
device {
vendor DELL
product "PERC|Universal"
}
}
devices {
device {
user_friendly_names yes
vendor DELL
product MD3000i
hardware_handler "1 rdac"
path_checker rdac
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
prio rdac
failback immediate
}
}
multipaths {
mulitpath {
device {
vendor DELL
product MD3000i
}
}
}
Ignoring those errors I have tried to create a volume mapped to the multipath devices but I get:
Code:
# pvcreate /dev/dm-3
Device /dev/dm-3 not found (or ignored by filtering).
dm-3 amd dm-4 do exist in /dev
Anybody know what I am missing?
