如何在不重新启动服务器，重新扫描scsi总线或重新启动multipathd的情况下摆脱或删除多路径设备

How to get rid of or remove the multipath device without rebooting the server, rescanning the scsi bus, or restarting multipathd

Environment

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6
• Device mapper multipath
• SAN connected storage

Issue

• Unable to remove the multipath device after unmapping the LUN from the server.
• Attempting to flush a multipath map with "multipath -f" or "multipath -F" results in "map in use":

Raw

# multipath -f mpath7 mpath7: map in use

• The multipath command still shows the multipath device, with path(s) to the unmapped LUN as follows:

Raw

# multipath -ll mpath7 mpath7 (36090a01870982994dcb8d4405ed03cbf) dm-7 , [size=4.4T][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# - #:# [failed][faulty]

Resolution

• Locate any subsystem or process holding the multipath device open.  See diagnostic steps for possible tools and techniques.
• For any subsystem or process holding the multipath device open, stop the process, or issue commands to release the multipath device.
• Some examples of possible holders of a multipath device and the commands to release it:

• 1. A filesystem exists on the multipath device and is currently mounted.

• • • Unmount the filesystem and if it exists in /etc/fstab, remove it.

• 1. One or more partition mapping(s) still exists on the multipath device.

• • • Use "kpartx -d" on the multipath device to remove the device partition mapping(s).

• 1. The multipath device was used by LVM, and still has device mapper state in the kernel.

• • Use "lvchange -an" to deactivate any logical volume(s) associated with the multipath device.  A list of logical volumes associated with the multipath device may be found by examining the output of "lvs -o +devices".
  • If "lvchange -an" fails, the logical volume is only partially removed, or there are blocked processes with I/O outstanding on the device, use "dmsetup remove -f" followed by "dmsetup clear" on the multipath device.  See dmsetup man page for full explanation of these commands.

• Once all holders of the device have been removed, the multipath device should be flushed with "multipath -f".

Root Cause

• The multipath device was held open by at least one process or subsystem.

Diagnostic Steps

• Use 'lsof' to attempt to find anyone holding the device open.
• Check 'dmsetup' output for any device mapper maps that depend on the multipath device
• Check the if there is a device for mpath7 in /dev/mapper/mpath7
• Check multipath -v4 -ll

• 红帽企业Linux 5、6
• 设备映射器多路径
• SAN连接的存储

问题

• 从服务器取消映射LUN后无法删除多路径设备。
• 尝试使用“ multipath -f”或“ multipath -F”刷新多路径地图将导致“正在使用地图”：

生的

# multipath -f mpath7 mpath7: map in use

• multipath命令仍然显示多路径设备，其中包含到未映射LUN的路径，如下所示：

生的

# multipath -ll mpath7 mpath7 (36090a01870982994dcb8d4405ed03cbf) dm-7 , [size=4.4T][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ #:#:#:# - #:# [failed][faulty]

解析度

• 找到使多路径设备保持打开状态的所有子系统或过程。请参阅诊断步骤以获取可能的工具和技术。
• 对于使多路径设备保持打开状态的任何子系统或过程，请停止该过程或发出命令以释放多路径设备。
• 多路径设备的可能持有者以及释放它的命令的一些示例：

• 1. 多路径设备上存在一个文件系统，并且该文件系统当前已安装。

• • • 卸载文件系统，如果它存在于/ etc / fstab中，请将其删除。

• 1. 多路径设备上仍存在一个或多个分区映射。

• • • kpartx -d在多路径设备上使用“ ”删除设备分区映射。

• 1. LVM使用了多路径设备，但内核中仍具有设备映射器状态。

• • 使用“ lvchange -an”停用与多路径设备关联的任何逻辑卷。通过检查“ lvs -o +devices”的输出，可以找到与多路径设备关联的逻辑卷的列表。
  • 如果“ lvchange -an”失败，则逻辑卷仅被部分删除，或者设备上存在阻塞的进程，且I / O尚未完成，请在多路径设备上使用“ dmsetup remove -f”，然后使用“ ” dmsetup clear。有关这些命令的完整说明，请参见dmsetup手册页。

• 移除设备的所有支架后，应使用“ multipath -f”冲洗多路径设备。

根本原因

• 多路径设备至少由一个进程或子系统保持打开状态。

诊断步骤

• 使用“ lsof”尝试查找使设备保持打开状态的任何人。
• 检查“ dmsetup”输出是否有依赖于多路径设备的任何设备映射器映射
• 检查/ dev / mapper / mpath7中是否有用于mpath7的设备
• 检查多路径-v4 -lls have created while supporting our
