Chapter 9 Setting Up the Multipath Configuration
9.1 Enabling MPxIO
Enable MPxIO.
Check the [mpxio-disable="no"] line in the "/kernel/drv/iscsi.conf" file.
Change the parameter to "no" when "yes" is set.
Example for changing the "/kernel/drv/iscsi.conf" file:
9.2 Reconfiguring and Restarting the Server
Reconfigure and restart the server to effect the new settings.
Use the "format" command to check the MPxIO multipath status after multipathing is set up.
For the iSCSI LAN (used to transfer data), do not set multipath
configuration with IP Network Multipathing (IPMP).
When configuring the multipath, use MPxIO in the same way as FC-SAN is
used for configuration.
# To globally enable MPxIO on all iscsi ports set:
# mpxio-disable="no";
#
# To globally disable MPxIO on all iscsi ports set:
# mpxio-disable="yes";
