Hi,
I'm using Proxmox 5 and I'd like to use a SAN as storage for VMs. Proxmox lists all four paths (/dev/sdb-dev/sde) and I'd like to make sure that it doesn't see them as separate. What I did was make use of device mapper - fdisk showed all these four paths + the device mapper (/dev/mapper/name) and I simply created the lvm using dm, instead of any of the four paths (/devsdx). Then I added the storage in the proxmox GUI. My question is, is this safe? How should I go about doing that?
I'm not talking about multipathing. I know I need to configure this within linux, - by default it seems that all 4 paths are set as active, so I'm guessing it load balances on all 4.
