Topic

Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Extended Update Support.

Description

The device-mapper-multipath packages provide tools that use the device-mapper multipath kernel module to manage multipath devices.

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • With this update, device-mapper-multipath provides a new "max_sectors_kb" parameter in the defaults, devices, and multipaths sections of the multipath.conf file. This parameter allows you to set the "max_sectors_kb" device queue parameter to the specified value on all underlying paths of a multipath device before the multipath device is first activated.

When a multipath device is created, the device inherits the "max_sectors_kb" value from the path devices. Manually raising this value for the multipath device or lowering this value for the path devices can cause multipath to create I/O operations larger than the path devices allow.

Using the "max_sectors_kb" multipath.conf parameter is an easy way to set these values before a multipath device is created on top of the path devices, and prevent invalid-sized I/O operations from being passed down. (BZ#1429884)

Users of device-mapper-multipath are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
