linux中磁盘多路径使用方法

Linux下多路径multipath配置

一、multipath在linux中的基本配置：

1. 通过命令：lsmod |grep dm_multipath 检查是否正常安装成功。如果没有输出说明没有安装那么通过yum功能安装一下软件包：yum –y install device-mapper device-mapper-multipath

接着通过命令：multipath –ll 查看多路径状态查看模块是否加载成功

[root@liujing ~]# multipath –ll 查看多路径状态

Mar 10 19:18:28 | /etc/multipath.conf does not exist, blacklisting all devices.

Mar 10 19:18:28 | A sample multipath.conf file is located at

Mar 10 19:18:28 | /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9/multipath.conf

Mar 10 19:18:28 | You can run /sbin/mpathconf to create or modify /etc/multipath.conf

Mar 10 19:18:28 | DM multipath kernel driver not loaded ----DM模块没有加载

如果模块没有加载成功请使用下列命初始化DM,或重启系统
—Use the following commands to initialize and start DM for the first time:

• modprobe dm-multipath
  modprobe dm-round-robin
  service multipathd start
  multipath –v2

初始化完了之后再通过multipath -ll命令查看是否加载成功

[root@liujing ~]# multipath -ll

Mar 10 19:21:14 | /etc/multipath.conf does not exist, blacklisting all devices.

Mar 10 19:21:14 | A sample multipath.conf file is located at

Mar 10 19:21:14 | /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9/multipath.conf

Mar 10 19:21:14 | You can run /sbin/mpathconf to create or modify /etc/multipath.conf

DM multipath kernel driver not loaded ----这个提示没了说明DM模块已加载成功。

从上面的提示可以看到，DM模块是成功加载，但是/etc/下没有multipath.conf 配置文件，下一步介绍如何配置multipath.conf 文件。

2. 配置multipath：

通过vi命令创建一个Multipath的配置文件路径是/etc/multipath.conf ,在配置文件中添加multipath正常工作的最简配置如下：

vi /etc/multipath.conf

blacklist {
devnode “^sda”

}

defaults {
user_friendly_names yes

path_grouping_policy multibus

failback immediate

no_path_retry fail

}

编辑完成后保存配置，同时通过命令：

/etc/init.d/multipathd start #开启mulitipath服务

如果出现无法开启服务的情况，没有提示OK的话如下：

[root@liujing mapper]# service multipathd start

Starting multipathd daemon: 没有提示OK

重新开关一下服务就可以解决了。

[root@liujing mapper]# /etc/init.d/multipathd stop

Stopping multipathd daemon: [ OK ]

[root@localhost mapper]# /etc/init.d/multipathd start

Starting multipathd daemon: [ OK ] -----提示OK 正常开启服务

通过命令查看：

[root@liujing mapper]# multipath -ll

mpatha (360a9800064665072443469563477396c) dm-0 NETAPP,LUN ----创建了一个lun

|- 1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 active ready running ----多路径下的两个盘符sdb和sde.

`- 2:0:0:0 sde 8:64 active ready running

目录/dev/mapper/ 下多了两个文件夹mpatha 和mpathap1。

[root@liujing mapper]# cd /dev/mapper/

[root@liujing mapper]# ls

control mpatha mpathap1

同时fdisk –l的命令下也多了两个设备标识：

没有配置多路径时：

[root@liujing~]# fdisk -l

3. multipath磁盘的基本操作

要对多路径软件生成的磁盘进行操作直接操作/dev/mapper/目录下的磁盘就行.

在对多路径软件生成的磁盘进行分区之前最好运行一下pvcreate命令:

#pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpatha

fdisk /dev/mapper/mpatha 分区时用这个目录/dev/mapper/mpatha

用fdisk对多路径软件生成的磁盘进行分区保存时会有一个报错,此报错不用理会.

ls -l /dev/mapper/

[root@liujing mnt]# ls -l /dev/mapper/

total 0

crw-rw----. 1 root root 10, 58 Mar 10 19:10 control

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 10 20:28 mpatha -> …/dm-0

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 10 20:33 mpathap1 -> …/dm-1

的mpathap1就是我们对multipath磁盘进行的分区

mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/mpathap1 #对mpath1p1分区格式化成ext4文件系统

#mount /dev/mapper/mpathap1 /mnt/ #挂载mpathap1分区

格式化和挂载时用/dev/mapper/mpathap1

4. 分区磁盘：

上面有提到分区时用目录/dev/mapper/mpatha

[root@liujing~]# fdisk /dev/mapper/mpatha

Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel

Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xac956c3a.

Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.

After that, of course, the previous content won’t be recoverable.

Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It’s strongly recommended to

switch off the mode (command ‘c’) and change display units to

sectors (command ‘u’).

Command (m for help): n------------------------新建分区

Command action

e extended

p primary partition (1-4)

p-----------------------------主分区

Partition number (1-4): 1

First cylinder (1-1016, default 1):

Using default value 1

Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (1-1016, default 1016):

Using default value 1016

Command (m for help): w ---------------------写入列表相当于保存

The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

Syncing disks.

注：如果同一台设备的两个node挂同样的盘符，另一个盘符还需要再次写入w就行。不需要n了。

5. 格式化：

[root@liujing ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/mpathap1

mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)

/dev/sdd1 alignment is offset by 1024 bytes.

This may result in very poor performance, (re)-partitioning suggested.

6. 挂载 /dev/mapper/mpathap1 到 /mnt

[root@liujing ~]# mount /dev/mapper/mpathap1 /mnt

三、multipath的高级配置之前的配置都是用multipath的默认配置来完成multipath，比如映射设备的名称，multipath负载均衡的方法都是默认设置。那有没有按照我们自己定义的方法来配置multipath呢，答案是OK。

1、multipath.conf文件的配置

接下来的工作就是要编辑/etc/multipath.conf的配置文件

multipath.conf主要包括blacklist、multipaths、devices三部份的配置

blacklist配置

blacklist {
devnode “^sda”

}

Multipaths部分配置multipaths和devices两部份的配置。

multipaths {
multipath {
wwid **************** #此值multipath -v3可以看到

alias iscsi-dm0 #映射后的别名,可以随便取

path_grouping_policy multibus #路径组策略

path_checker tur #决定路径状态的方法

path_selector “round-robin 0” #选择那条路径进行下一个IO操作的方法

}

}

Devices部分配置

devices {
device {
vendor “iSCSI-Enterprise” #厂商名称

product “Virtual disk” #产品型号

path_grouping_policy multibus #默认的路径组策略

getuid_callout “/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n” #获得唯一设备号使用的默认程序

prio_callout “/sbin/acs_prio_alua %d” #获取有限级数值使用的默认程序

path_checker readsector0 #决定路径状态的方法

path_selector “round-robin 0” #选择那条路径进行下一个IO操作的方法

failback immediate #故障恢复的模式

no_path_retry queue #在disable queue之前系统尝试使用失效路径的次数的数值

rr_min_io 100 #在当前的用户组中，在切换到另外一条路径之前的IO请求的数目

}

}

在我本地的一个完整的高级配置如下：

[root@liujing ~]# vi /etc/multipath.conf

blacklist {
devnode “^sda”

}

multipaths {
multipath {
wwid 360a98000646650724434697454546156

alias mpathb_fcoe

path_grouping_policy multibus

#path_checker “directio”

prio “random”

path_selector “round-robin 0”

}

}

devices {
device {
vendor “NETAPP”

product “LUN”

getuid_callout “/lib/udev/scsi_id --whitelisted --device=/dev/%n”

#path_checker “directio”

#path_selector “round-robin 0”

failback immediate

no_path_retry fail

}

}

其中 wwid，vendor，product， getuid_callout这些参数可以通过：multipath -v3命令来获取。如果在/etc/multipath.conf中有设定各wwid 别名,别名会覆盖此设定。

四、负载均衡测试：

可以使用dd命令来对设备进行读写操作，并同时通过iostat来查看I／0状态，流量从哪个路径出去：

DD命令：dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1Gfile bs=8k count=131072 在上面我们已经把磁盘挂载在/MNT文件夹下所以我们在读写磁盘时直接对/mnt文件夹直接读写就可以了。

如果想对磁盘重复读写可以用如下语句：

[root@liujing ~]# for ((i=1;i<=5;i++));do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1Gfile bs=8k count=131072 2>&1|grep MB;done; —重复读写5次这个值可以根据自己测试需求修改。

How to Find disk SCSI ID WWIDS In Linux

另一个控制台输入iostat 2 10查看IO读写状态：

可以看到sdc和sdd是两个多路径的盘符，流量均匀的负载在两条路径中，负载均衡很成功。

五、路径冗余备份测试

将其中一条路径的端口down掉，所有流量会直接切换到另一个路径中。
