Multipath config status check in Linux :How to?

Multipath config status check in Linux


Using dmsetup command:

# ls -lrt /dev/mapper  //To View the Mapper disk paths and Lvols

#dmsetup table 

#dmsetup ls 

#dmsetup status



Using Multipathd Command ( Daemon ) 


#echo 'show paths' |multipathd -k

#echo 'show maps' |multipathd -k


Explained multipathd below:


A.DISPLAY PATH STATUS 

Multipathd has a mode (the -k flag) were it can be used to connect to the running multipathd process over a socket.

If there is no running multipathd you will get the following error.

[root@k2 ~]# multipathd -k
ux_socket_connect: Connection refused

If the daemon is running, you can issue commands like below,

#multipathd -k

Multipathd>

#multipathd> show multipaths status 

name failback queueing paths dm-st 
mpath0 immediate - 4 active 
mpath1 immediate - 4 active 


B.SHOW TOPOLOGY 

#multipathd> show topology 

mpath0 (360050768018380367000000000000049) dm-0 IBM,2145

\_ round-robin 0 [prio=20][enabled] 
\_ 1:0:0:0 sda 8:0 [active][ready] 
\_ 1:0:2:0 sdc 8:32 [active][ready] 


C.SHOW PATHS 

#multipathd> show paths

D.Fail a path 

# multipathd -k"fail path sdc"

# multipathd -k"show paths" 

E. DELETE A PATH 

#multipathd> del path sdc 
ok 

F.SUSPEND / ENABLE A PATH 

#multipathd> suspend map mpath0 
ok 

And For enable the map 

#multipathd> resume map mpath0
