Replace linux native multipath with PP
Hi all
I've to replace native multipath on a Oracle linux with oracle RAC and ASM with Powerpath 6.
I can't find a document that explain steps to do this.
I'm planning these steps.
1. Mask emcpower device in lvm.conf
vi /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
filter = [ "a/emcpower.*/", "r/sd.*/", "r/disk.*/" ]
2. Install powerpath
rpm -ivh EMCpower.LINUX-*.rpm
3. Configurare PP license
emcpreg -install
4. Disable native multipath
Edit /etc/multipath.conf so that it contains only the following lines:
blacklist {
devnode "*"
}
chkconfig multipathd off
dracut /boot/initramfs-wo-DM-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
Add a new boot entry with the initramfs file created in previous step in the
/boot/grub/menu.lst
5. start PP
/etc/init.d/PowerPath start
6. check all device
Are these steps correct?
thanks
