A.1.7. O Alvo de Mapeamento multipath

O alvo de mapeamento multipath suporta o mapeamento de um dispositivo multipath. O formato para o alvo multipath é como segue:

start length  multipath  #features [feature1 ... featureN] #handlerargs [handlerarg1 ... handlerargN] #pathgroups pathgroup pathgroupargs1 ... pathgroupargsN

Existe um conjunto de parâmetros de pathgroupargs para cada grupo de path.

start

bloco inicial em um dispositivo virtual

length

comprimento deste segmento

#features

A quantidade de características de multipath, seguidos pelas características. Se este parâmetro for zero, então não há parâmetro feature e o próximo parâmetro do dispositivo de mapeamento é #handlerargs. Atualmente há uma característica multipath suportada, queue_if_no_path. Esta indica que o dispositivo multipath está atualmente configurado para enfileirar operações de E/S se não houver um path disponível.

Por exemplo, se a opção no_path_retry no arquivo multipath.conf foi configurado para enfileirar operações de E/S somente até que todos os paths tenham sido marcados como reprovados após que um certo número de tentativas foram feitas para usar os paths, o mapeamento apareceria como a seguir até que todos os controladores de paths falhem o número de vezes especificadas.

0 71014400 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 2 1 round-robin 0 2 1 66:128 \
1000 65:64 1000 round-robin 0 2 1 8:0 1000 67:192 1000

Após todos os controladores de paths falharem o número de vezes especificadas, o mapeamento aparece como a seguir:

0 71014400 multipath 0 0 2 1 round-robin 0 2 1 66:128 1000 65:64 1000 \
round-robin 0 2 1 8:0 1000 67:192 1000

#handlerargs

A quantidade de argumentos do manipulador de hardware, seguido por estes argumentos. Um manipulador de hardware especifica um módulo que será usado para executar ações específicas de hardware quando trocando grupos de paths ou manipulando erros de E/S. Se este é configurado como 0, então o próximo parâmetro é #pathgroups.

#pathgroups

O número de grupos paths. Um grupo paths é o conjunto de caminhos em que um dispositivo multipath irá carregar equilíbrio. Há uma configuração de parâmetro pathgroupargs para cada grupo de path.

pathgroup

O próximo grupo de caminho a ser tentado

pathgroupsargs

Cada grupo de caminho consiste dos seguintes argumentos:

pathselector #selectorargs #paths #pathargs device1 ioreqs1 ... deviceN ioreqsN 

Existe um conjunto de argumentos de path para cada caminho no grupo.

pathselector

Especifica o algorítmo em uso para determinar qual path neste grupo de caminho usar para a próxima operação de E/S.

#selectorargs

O número de argumentos seletores de path que seguem este argumento no mapeador multipath. Atualmente, o valor deste argumento é sempre 0.

#paths

O número de paths neste grupo de caminho

#pathargs

O número de argumentos path especificados para cada caminho neste grupo. Atualmente este número é sempre 1, o argumento ioreqs.

device

O número do dispositivo de bloco de path, referenciado pelos números maiores e menores no formato major:minor

ioreqs

O número de requisições de E/S para rotear neste caminho antes de mudar para o caminho seguinte no grupo atual.

A Figura A.1, “Alvo de Mapeamento Multipath” mostra o formato de um alvo multipath com dois grupos de caminho.

Figura A.1. Alvo de Mapeamento Multipath

O exemplo seguinte mostra uma pura definição de alvo failover no mesmo dispositivo multipath. Neste alvo existem 4 grupos de caminho, com somente um caminho aberto por grupo de caminho, então o dispositivo multpath usará somente um caminho por vez.

0 71014400 multipath 0 0 4 1 round-robin 0 1 1 66:112 1000 \
round-robin 0 1 1 67:176 1000 round-robin 0 1 1 68:240 1000 \
round-robin 0 1 1 65:48 1000

O exemplo seguinte mostra uma definição de propagação (multibus) de alvo para o mesmo dispositivo multipathed. Neste alvo há somente um grupo de caminho, que inclui todos os paths. Nesta configuração, multipath distribui a carga uniformemente a todos os caminhos.

0 71014400 multipath 0 0 1 1 round-robin 0 4 1 66:112 1000 \
 67:176 1000 68:240 1000 65:48 1000

    # Be careful if there there are symbolic links or multiple filesystem 
    # entries for the same device as each name is checked separately against

    #            Using this policy for a mirror device is slow, as it

    # percent. The latter defines how much extra space should be allocated for
    # the snapshot, in percent of its current size.
