UnitedLinux Configuration
After installing Smart Array Multipath software on a server with a UnitedLinux
operating system, configure for multipath operations.
Review the following sample configuration procedure. This sample assumes that the
user wants to set /dev/cciss/c1d0p2 and /dev/cciss/c2d0p2 to point to the same
volume as a multipath device.
To configure the system for multipath use:
1. Be sure that the MSA500 system contains two controllers connected to the same
logical volume.
2. To create multipath device /dev/md0, run:
mdadm –create –level multipath –n 2 /dev/md0
/dev/cciss/c1d0p2 /dev/cciss/c2d0p2
3. To review the status, run:
mdadm –D /dev/md0
Results should look similar to the following:
/dev/mdp:
