Symptoms

此文件是根据 PowerVault ME5、ME4 和 MD3 存储上基于 Linux 的多路径输入/输出 （MPIO） 的最佳实践设计的。使用这些设置修改由许多 Linux作系统发行版生成的“/etc/multipath.conf”文件。

 

请参阅 Linux 文档，因为某些 Linux作系统发行版可能需要自定义设置，以便在文件投入使用之前应用。

历史：

  • 2022 年 4 月 25 日添加的 PowerVault ME5 措辞
  • PowerVault ME4 特定设置已于 2020 年 2 月 11 日添加
  • MD34xx/38xx 特定设置
  • MD32xx/36xx 特定设置
  • 黑名单

 

ME4 设置默认值可在名为“Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 系列和 Linux” 版本（2018 年 9 月）的文档中找到。

其他作系统最佳实践可在 Dell Technologies Infohub上找到。

知识库中有文本和文件版本。文本如下，文件已附加。

必须将文本版本放入 Linux 主机“multipath.conf”文件中的文件中或替换文本。
