Since I see the following entry at /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7/multipath.conf.defaults I am assuming I do not need to add it to multipath.conf but I do not know exaclty. Also my storage is Hitachi openv and the default one has Product name as "DF.*" as you can see below. So I am confused in here. device { # vendor "HITACHI" # product "DF.*" # getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" # prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_hds_modular %d" # features "0" # hardware_handler "0" # path_grouping_policy group_by_prio # failback immediate # rr_weight uniform # rr_min_io 1000 # path_checker readsector0 # } Thanks Paras.
