3.3. Adding Devices to the Multipathing Database
By default, DM-Multipath includes support for the most common storage arrays that support DM-Multipath. The default configuration values, including supported devices, can be found in the
multipath.conf.defaults file.
If you need to add a storage device that is not supported by default as a known multipath device, edit the
/etc/multipath.conf file and insert the appropriate device information.
For example, to add information about the HP Open-V series the entry looks like this:
devices {
device {
vendor "HP"
product "OPEN-V."
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -p0x80 -s /block/%n"
}
}
For more information on the
devices section of the configuration file, see Section 4.5, “Configuration File Devices”.
