capabilities. Check with your storage vendor for details.
9. Un-comment the multipath section found within the /etc/multipath.conf file and create an alias for each device mapper volume in order to enable persistent naming of those volumes. Once complete, save the changes made to the multipath.conf file. The output should resemble the example below. For reference, refer the Oracle data volumes created for the reference environment as displayed in Table 2.4.3: Oracle OCR,Voting Disk, & Data File Sizes.
/etc/multipath.conf
multipaths {
multipath {
wwid 3600c0ff000d7e7a854a0f65101000000
alias db1
}
multipath {
wwid 3600c0ff000dabfe562a0f65101000000
alias db2
}
multipath {
wwid 3600c0ff000d7e7a874a0f65101000000
alias fra
}
multipath {
wwid 3600c0ff000dabfe585a0f65101000000
alias redo
}
multipath {
wwid 3600c0ff000dabfe596a0f65101000000
alias ocrvote1
}
multipath {
wwid 3600c0ff000dabfe5a2a0f65101000000
alias ocrvote2
}
multipath {
wwid 3600c0ff000dabfe5b4a0f65101000000
alias ocrvote3
}
}
10.Restart the device mapper multipath daemon.
# service multipathd restart
ok
Stopping multipathd daemon: [ OK ]
Starting multipathd daemon: [ OK ]
11.Verify the device mapper paths and aliases are displayed properly. Below is an example of one device mapper device labeled fra.
# multipath -ll
fra (3600c0ff000d7e7a89e85ac5101000000) dm-10 HP,MSA2324fc
