Multipath 简称为多路径访问，主要功能就是和存储设备一起配合实现三大功能：1. 故障的切换和恢复 2. IO 流量的负载均衡 3. 磁盘的虚拟化
一、multipath 在 redhat 7.2 中的基本配置：
wKioL1hck-_A9WpgAADUF9Ah-cM128.png
从上面的提示可以看出，默认没有 /etc/multipath,DM 模块没有加载，在 redhat linux 7.2 可以用命令 /sbin/mpathconf/ –enable 生成配置文件
在 /etc/multipath.conf 配置文件中内容是被注释掉的
wKiom1hclDyx0blSAAEcSNr1nl0957.png
所有要注意些，要修改的地方去掉注释；
为节省时间，下面有 6.2 的配置详情，和 7.2 差别不大
一、multipath 在 redhat 6.2 中的基本配置：
通过命令：lsmod |grep dm_multipath 检查是否正常安装成功。如果没有输出说明没有安装那么通过 yum 功能安装一下软件包：yum –y install device-mapper device-mapper-multipath
接着通过命令：multipath –ll 查看多路径状态查看模块是否加载成功
[root@liujing ~]# multipath –ll 查看多路径状态
Mar 10 19:18:28 | /etc/multipath.conf does not exist, blacklisting alldevices.
Mar 10 19:18:28 | A sample multipath.conf file is located at
Mar 10 19:18:28 |/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9/multipath.conf
Mar 10 19:18:28 | You can run /sbin/mpathconf to create or modify/etc/multipath.conf
Mar 10 19:18:28 | DM multipath kernel driver notloaded —-DM 模块没有加载
如果模块没有加载成功请使用下列命初始化 DM, 或重启系统
—Use the following commands to initialize and start DM for the first time:
modprobe dm-multipath
modprobe dm-round-robin
service multipathd start
multipath –v2
初始化完了之后再通过 multipath -ll 命令查看是否加载成功
[root@liujing ~]# multipath -ll
Mar 10 19:21:14 | /etc/multipath.conf does not exist, blacklisting alldevices.
Mar 10 19:21:14 | A sample multipath.conf file is located at
Mar 10 19:21:14 |/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9/multipath.conf
Mar 10 19:21:14 | You can run /sbin/mpathconf to create or modify/etc/multipath.conf
DM multipath kernel driver not loaded —- 这个提示没了说明 DM 模块已加载成功。
从上面的提示可以看到，DM 模块是成功加载，但是 /etc/ 下没有 multipath.conf 配置文件，下一步介绍如何配置 multipath.conf 文件。
配置 multipath：
通过 vi 命令创建一个 Multipath 的配置文件路径是 /etc/multipath.conf , 在配置文件中添加 multipath 正常工作的最简配置如下：
vi /etc/multipath.conf
blacklist {
devnode ^sda
}
defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
path_grouping_policy multibus
failback immediate
no_path_retry fail
}
编辑完成后保存配置，同时通过命令：
/etc/init.d/multipathd start #开启 mulitipath 服务
如果出现无法开启服务的情况，没有提示 OK 的话如下：
[root@liujing mapper]# service multipathd start
Starting multipathd daemon: 没有提示 OK
重新开关一下服务就可以解决了。
[root@liujing mapper]# /etc/init.d/multipathd stop
Stopping multipathddaemon: [OK][root@localhost mapper]# /etc/init.d/multipathd start
Starting multipathddaemon: [OK] —– 提示 OK 正常开启服务
通过命令查看：
[root@liujing mapper]# multipath -ll
mpatha (360a9800064665072443469563477396c) dm-0NETAPP,LUN —- 创建了一个 lun
size=3.5G features= 0 hwhandler= 0 wp=rw

`- 2:0:0:0 sde 8:64 active ready running
目录 /dev/mapper/ 下多了两个文件夹 mpatha 和 mpathap1。
[root@liujing mapper]# cd /dev/mapper/
[root@liujing mapper]# ls
control mpatha mpathap1
同时 fdisk –l 的命令下也多了两个设备标识：
没有配置多路径时：
[root@liujing~]# fdisk -l

multipath -F #删除现有路径 两个新的路径就会被删除

multipath 磁盘的基本操作
要对多路径软件生成的磁盘进行操作直接操作 /dev/mapper/ 目录下的磁盘就行.
在对多路径软件生成的磁盘进行分区之前最好运行一下 pvcreate 命令:
pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpatha
#fdisk /dev/mapper/mpatha 分区时用这个目录 /dev/mapper/mpatha
用 fdisk 对多路径软件生成的磁盘进行分区保存时会有一个报错, 此报错不用理会.
ls -l /dev/mapper/
[root@liujing mnt]# ls -l /dev/mapper/
total 0
crw-rw—-. 1 root root 10, 58 Mar 10 19:10 control
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 10 20:28mpatha – ../dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 10 20:33 mpathap1- ../dm-1
的 mpathap1 就是我们对 multipath 磁盘进行的分区
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/mpathap1 #对 mpath2p1 分区格式化成 ext4 文件系统
mount /dev/mapper/mpathap1 /mnt/ #挂载 mpathap1 分区
格式化和挂载时用 /dev/mapper/mpathap1
分区磁盘：
上面有提到分区时用目录 /dev/mapper/mpatha
[root@liujing~]# fdisk /dev/mapper/mpatha

Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won t be recoverable.

注：如果同一台设备的两个 node 挂同样的盘符，另一个盘符还需要再次写入 w 就行。不需要 n 了。
格式化：

挂载 /dev/mapper/mpathap1 到 /mnt
[root@liujing ~]# mount /dev/mapper/mpathap1 /mnt
三、multipath 的高级配置之前的配置都是用 multipath 的默认配置来完成 multipath，比如映射设备的名称，multipath 负载均衡的方法都是默认设置。那有没有按照我们自己定义的方法来配置 multipath 呢，答案是 OK。
1、multipath.conf 文件的配置
接下来的工作就是要编辑 /etc/multipath.conf 的配置文件
multipath.conf 主要包括 blacklist、multipaths、devices 三部份的配置
blacklist 配置
blacklist {
devnode ^sda
}
Multipaths 部分配置 multipaths 和 devices 两部份的配置。
multipaths {
multipath {
wwid **** #此值 multipath -v3 可以看到
alias iscsi-dm0 #映射后的别名, 可以随便取
path_grouping_policy multibus #路径组策略
path_checker tur #决定路径状态的方法
path_selector round-robin 0 #选择那条路径进行下一个 IO 操作的方法
}
}
Devices 部分配置
devices {
device {
vendor iSCSI-Enterprise #厂商名称
product Virtual disk #产品型号
path_grouping_policy multibus #默认的路径组策略
getuid_callout /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n #获得唯一设备号使用的默认程序
prio_callout /sbin/acs_prio_alua%d #获取有限级数值使用的默认程序
path_checker readsector0 #决定路径状态的方法
path_selector round-robin 0 #选择那条路径进行下一个 IO 操作的方法
failback immediate #故障恢复的模式
no_path_retry queue #在 disable queue 之前系统尝试使用失效路径的次数的数值
rr_min_io 100 #在当前的用户组中，在切换到另外一条路径之前的 IO 请求的数目
}
}
下面是相关参数的标准文档的介绍：
Attribute
Description
wwid
Specifies the WWID of the multipath device to which themultipath attributes apply. This parameter is mandatory for this section of themultipath.conf file.
alias
Specifies the symbolic name for the multipath device to which themultipath attributes apply. If you are usinguser_friendly_names, do not set this value tompathn; this may conflict with an automatically assigned user friendly name and give you incorrect device node names.
path_grouping_policy
Specifies the default path grouping policy to apply to unspecified multipaths. Possible values include:
failover = 1 path per priority group
multibus = all valid paths in 1 priority group
group_by_serial = 1 priority group per detected serial number
group_by_prio = 1 priority group per path priority value
group_by_node_name = 1 priority group per target node name
path_selector
Specifies the default algorithm to use in determining what path to use for the next I/O operation. Possible values include:
round-robin 0: Loop through every path in the path group, sending the same amount of I/O to each.
queue-length 0: Send the next bunch of I/O down the path with the least number of outstanding I/O requests.
service-time 0: Send the next bunch of I/O down the path with the shortest estimated service time, which is determined by dividing the total size of the outstanding I/O to each path by its relative throughput.
failback
Manages path group failback.
A value of immediate specifies immediate failback to the highest priority path group that contains active paths.
A value of manual specifies that there should not be immediate failback but that failback can happen only with operator intervention.
A value of followover specifies that automatic failback should be performed when the first path of a path group becomes active. This keeps a node from automatically failing back when another node requested the failover.
A numeric value greater than zero specifies deferred failback, expressed in seconds.
prio
Specifies the default function to call to obtain a path priority value. For example, the ALUA bits in SPC-3 provide an exploitableprio value. Possible values include:
const: Set a priority of 1 to all paths.
emc: Generate the path priority for EMC arrays.
alua: Generate the path priority based on the SCSI-3 ALUA settings.
tpg_pref: Generate the path priority based on the SCSI-3 ALUA settings, using the preferred port bit.
ontap: Generate the path priority for NetApp arrays.
rdac: Generate the path priority for LSI/Engenio RDAC controller.
hp_sw: Generate the path priority for Compaq/HP controller in active/standby mode.
hds: Generate the path priority for Hitachi HDS Modular storage arrays.
no_path_retry
A numeric value for this attribute specifies the number of times the system should attempt to use a failed path before disabling queueing.
A value of fail indicates immediate failure, without queueing.
A value of queue indicates that queueing should not stop until the path is fixed.
rr_min_io
Specifies the number of I/O requests to route to a path before switching to the next path in the current path group. This setting is only for systems running kernels older that 2.6.31. Newer systems should userr_min_io_rq. The default value is 1000.
rr_min_io_rq
Specifies the number of I/O requests to route to a path before switching to the next path in the current path group, using request-based device-mapper-multipath. This setting should be used on systems running current kernels. On systems running kernels older than 2.6.31, use rr_min_io. The default value is 1.
rr_weight
If set to priorities, then instead of sending rr_min_iorequests to a path before calling path_selector to choose the next path, the number of requests to send is determined byrr_min_io times the path s priority, as determined by theprio function. If set to uniform, all path weights are equal.
flush_on_last_del
If set to yes, then multipath will disable queueing when the last path to a device has been deleted.
在我本地的一个完整的高级配置如下：
[root@liujing ~]# vi /etc/multipath.conf
blacklist {
devnode ^sda
}
multipaths {
multipath {
wwid 360a98000646650724434697454546156
alias mpathb_fcoe
path_grouping_policy multibus
#path_checker directio
prio random
path_selector round-robin0
}
}
devices {
device {
vendor NETAPP
product LUN
getuid_callout /lib/udev/scsi_id–whitelisted –device=/dev/%n
#path_checker directio
#path_selector round-robin0
failback immediate
no_path_retry fail
}
}
其中 wwid，vendor，product，getuid_callout 这些参数可以通过：multipath -v3 命令来获取。如果在 /etc/multipath.conf 中有设定各 wwid 别名, 别名会覆盖此设定。
四、负载均衡测试：
可以使用 dd 命令来对设备进行读写操作，并同时通过 iostat 来查看 I/0 状态，流量从哪个路径出去：
DD 命令：dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1Gfile bs=8k count=131072 在上面我们已经把磁盘挂载在 /MNT 文件夹下所以我们在读写磁盘时直接对 /mnt 文件夹直接读写就可以了。
如果想对磁盘重复读写可以用如下语句：
[root@liujing ~]# for ((i=1;i i++));do dd if=/dev/zeroof=/mnt/1Gfile bs=8k count=131072 2 1|grep MB;done; — 重复读写 5 次这个值可以根据自己测试需求修改。
另一个控制台输入 iostat 2 10 查看 IO 读写状态：
可以看到 sdc 和 sdd 是两个多路径的盘符，流量均匀的负载在两条路径中，负载均衡很成功。
五、路径冗余备份测试
将其中一条路径的端口 down 掉，所有流量会直接切换到另一个路径中
