Linux平台的多路径软件multipath的使用案例


        在Linux和AIX平台都有一部分存储产品使用操作系统自带的多路径软件,包括最常见的HP和IBM的部分存储产品,在Linux自带的多路径软件叫做multipath,这篇文章以IBM N系列存储在Linux平台的使用为例,讨论Linux平台multipath的使用。

1.确保安装以下的包:
device-mapper             
device-mapper-multipath   

2.编辑配置文件/etc/multipath.conf
[root@rac01 ~]# vi /etc/multipath.conf

defaults
{
       user_friendly_names       yes
       max_fds                   max
       queue_without_daemon      no
       flush_on_last_del         yes
}

## Blacklist non-SAN devices
#sample:
#devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"
#devnode "^hd[a-z]"
#devnode "^cciss!c[0-9]d[0-9]*[p[0-9]*]"

blacklist
{
       wwid    3600605b002b6b890163d47661e8d4fbe
}

# FCP configuration, for a NetApp FAS3xxx / IBM Nxx00
# Vendor is "NETAPP  ", spaces are important
# Product is "LUN", though "*" will do

devices
{
       device
       {
              vendor                     "NETAPP"
              product                    "LUN"
              getuid_callout             "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
              prio_callout               "/sbin/mpath_prio_ontap /dev/%n"
              features                   "1 queue_if_no_path"
              hardware_handler           "0"
              path_grouping_policy       group_by_prio
              failback                   immediate
              rr_weight                  uniform
              rr_min_io                  128
              path_checker               directio
              }
}
#下面的注释配置不是必须的,配置之后可以固定系统设备的名称,这在服务器重启设备文件对应的磁盘设备发生变化的情况下使用。
#multipaths 
#{
#              multipath {
#                                 wwid 360a9800065344e6f465a6d5773745558
#                                 alias mocr1
#                              }
#              multipath {
#                                 wwid 360a9800065344e6e536f6d586d306630
#                                 alias mocr2
#                              }
#}


3.启动multipathd服务,及设置其自动启动。
执行以下的命令:
#service multipathd restart
#chkconfig --level 345 multipathd on
#chkconfig --list | grep multipathd

4.检查multipath聚合后的设备名,以及设备对应的链路情况。
[root@rac2 ~]# multipath -ll

        从以上的结果可以看出,每个磁盘设备对应的是两条链路,根据不存的存储以及不同的配置会有所不同。每个设备都有两个multipath设备名,分别是mpath[x]和dm-[x],mpath位于/dev/mpath目录下,dm-[x]位于/dev目录下。通常推荐使用/dev/mpath目录下的设备名,这对于我们来说更加的方便。

5.下面我们重点关注一下fdisk -l执行的结果。

        这部分设备名是/dev/dm-[n],这部分设备并不是multipath多路径软件聚合后的磁盘设备,而是做完分区的分区设备文件,再刚对前面的/dev/dm-0,dev/dm-1做完分区之后执行fdisk -l是看不到这部分设备信息的,只有重启之后才看到这些设备信息并产生了相应的设备文件。例如,/dev/dm-10对应的是/dev/dm-0p1,/dev/dm-11对应的是/dev/dm-1p1,以此类推,这部分设备文件可以被使用,但由于这些设备文件对应multipath聚合的磁盘设备比较麻烦,所以并不推荐使用这种方式。

下面讨论/dev/mpath目录下的设备文件:
        安装完multipath软件并配置完成之后会在/dev/mpath目录下生成聚合后的磁盘设备文件,实际是/dev/dm-[n]的链接文件:
  [root@rac2 mpath]# ls -al
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  440 Sep 21 02:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 7060 Sep 21 02:12 ..
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    7 Sep 21 02:05 mpath0 -> ../dm-0

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    7 Sep 21 02:05 mpath5 -> ../dm-3
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    8 Sep 21 02:05 mpath5p1 -> ../dm-18
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    7 Sep 21 02:05 mpath6 -> ../dm-4
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    8 Sep 21 02:05 mpath6p1 -> ../dm-11
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    7 Sep 21 02:05 mpath7 -> ../dm-6
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    8 Sep 21 02:05 mpath7p1 -> ../dm-13
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    7 Sep 21 02:05 mpath8 -> ../dm-9
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    8 Sep 21 02:05 mpath8p1 -> ../dm-16
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    7 Sep 21 02:05 mpath9 -> ../dm-8
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    8 Sep 21 02:05 mpath9p1 -> ../dm-15

        从上面的输出结果我们可以非常容易的了解到磁盘分区设备文件与磁盘设备文件之间的对应关系,所以使用/dev/mpath目录下的文件比使用/dev/目录下磁盘设备和磁盘分区设备文件都以dm-[n]方式表示的文件更加方便。之后我们在使用oracleasm创建ASM磁盘的时候,使用fdisk -l /dev/mpath/mpath[n]p1查看磁盘信息,直接使用/dev/mpath/mpath[n]p1作为ASM磁盘,非常的方便。

还需要注意如下几点:
1).经过multipath多路径软件聚合后的设备文件(/dev/mpath/mpath[n])不会随着服务器的重启,对应的磁盘设备发生变化,而/dev/sd[n]对应的磁盘LUN重启后是可能发生变化的。

2).如果单个磁盘大于2TB,那么在分区的时候不要使用fdisk工具(传统的MBR),应该使用parted(gpt),使用parted工具创建gpt分区的步骤是:
#parted
PARTED> select /dev/mpath/mpath0
PARTED> mklabel gpt
PARTED> mkpart primary 0 100%

3).如果我们使用ASM作为数据库数据文件的存储方式,那么单个ASM磁盘的大小不能超过2TB,所以在系统分区的时候就应该做好更小的分区,例如,/dev/mpath/mpath0磁盘的大小为3.8TB,那么在分区的时候应该做如下操作:
#parted
PARTED> select /dev/mpath/mpath0
PARTED> mklabel gpt
PARTED> mkpart primary 0 50%
PARTED> mkpart primary 50% 100%
        完成以上分区操作之后,重启服务器,在/dev/mpath/目录下就会看到mpath0p1和mpath0p2两个设备文件,将这两个设备文件作为ASM磁盘即可。

多路径软件multipath)是一种在计算机网络中使用的技术,它允许一个主机通过多个网络接口与其他节点进行通信。多路径软件的作用是提高网络的可靠性、容错能力和带宽利用率。 多路径软件通过同时利用多个网络接口,并在不同路径上发送和接收数据包,从而实现了对网络故障的容错处理。当某个路径发生故障时,多路径软件可以自动切换到其他可用路径,确保通信的连续性。此外,多路径软件还可以根据网络的拓扑结构和链路状态动态选择最佳路径,以提高网络的性能和带宽利用率。 多路径软件的原理是将逻辑接口(虚拟接口)与物理接口进行绑定,形成一个虚拟路径。这样,主机在发送数据包时,可以通过不同的虚拟路径进行并行传输。同时,多路径软件还会根据物理接口的状态进行动态调整,确保数据的顺利传输。 多路径软件的应用领域广泛,特别适用于高可用性要求较高的系统,如服务器集群、存储系统等。它可以有效地提高系统的可靠性和性能,确保数据的安全传输。同时,多路径软件还可以实现负载均衡,将流量分散到不同的路径上,避免单一路径的过载。 总之,多路径软件是一项重要的网络技术,它通过同时利用多个网络路径,提高了网络的可靠性、容错能力和带宽利用率。它在计算机网络中有着广泛的应用,对提高系统性能和数据传输的效率具有重要作用。
