The SUSE Linux Enterprise Server hosts require additional
configuration changes to run failover.
- You have installed the required packages on your system.
- For SLES 12 SP5 and later hosts, verify the packages are installed
by running
rpm -q multipath-tools
By default,
DM-MP is disabled in RHEL and SLES. Complete the following steps to
enable DM-MP components on the host.
- Add the NVMe
DE Series device entry to the devices section of the
/etc/multipath.conf file, as shown in the following example:
devices {
device {
vendor "NVME"
product "NetApp E-Series"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
failback immediate
no_path_retry 30
}
}
- Configure
multipathd to start at system boot.
# systemctl enable multipathd
- Start
multipathd if it is not currently running.
# systemctl start multipathd
- Verify the status
of
multipathd to make sure it is active and running:
# systemctl status multipathd
