Unable to blacklist a local disk from multipath
Issue
-
I'm am trying to get the following removed from multipath since it is an internal disk:
# multipath -l mpath4 (3600c0ff0001187d84537fe5101000000) dm-9 DELL,PERC H700 [size=2.2T][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][active] \_ 0:2:1:0 sdb 8:16 [active][undef] - I tried to follow Internal disk device is being detected as multipath device, how to remove it ? but
/etc/multipath/wwidsdoes not exist. -
I also tried to follow Blacklist Exceptions by adding adding the following to multipath.conf:
blacklist { wwid 3600c0ff0001187d84537fe5101000000 } -
Followed by:
# service multipath reload - but the device is still there.
NOTE: I already have physical volumes created on this path. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I would like the physical volume paths to show up as /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2 instead of /dev/mpath4a, /dev/mpath4b.
