5.2.5 Verifying the Connectivity
To verify the connectivity, complete the following steps:
1.
Check the status of the multipath device as follows:
[root@node1 ~]# service multipathd status
multipathd (pid xxxx) is running...
2.
Run
multipath -ll
command to view the detailed information of the multipath
devices as shown in the following example:
# multipath -ll
mpath2 (3600144f0d153d65600004f90462c0003) dm-3 SUN,Sun Storage 7410
[size=100G][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active]
\_ 7:0:0:0 sdc 8:32 [active][ready]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled]
\_ 8:0:0:0 sde 8:64 [active][ready]
mpath3 (3600144f0d153d65600004f90464f0004) dm-4 SUN,Sun Storage 7410
[size=200G][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active]
\_ 7:0:0:2 sdd 8:48 [active][ready]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][enabled]
\_ 8:0:0:2 sdf 8:80 [active][ready]
In the above example,
mpath2
and
mpath3
are the two LUNs configured in the
storage device.
