Configuring RHEL 6 FCoE Settings with Device-mapper Multipathing
The /etc/multipath.conf file is used by Device-mapper where the multipathing parameters
have been set. The default installed /etc/multipath.conf file must be edited with the following
changes for a minimum configuration connecting to an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage array. Entries
listed in multipath.conf override the default kernel parameters for dm-multipath. In general,
the kernel defaults are sufficient with the exception of the devices entries for HP 3PAR.
NOTE: See RHEL documentation of DM Multipath Configuration and Administration for additional
options in multipath.conf entries.
1. Remove or comment out all entries in the /etc/multipath.conf file except for the devices
section of devices currently in use.
2. Edit the devices structure to add entries for HP 3PAR array and remove other product entries
that are not needed.
NOTE: The following multipath settings for the RHEL server apply regardless of the HP 3PAR
OS version running on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage array.
