IBM DS Storage 在rhel多路径软件

一.多路径的概念

 

从上图中可以看RaidA映射给Server的Lun可以通过两条路径（paths）,这时在Server会看到两不同的Lun，事实是同一个Lun，这就需要做多路径聚合，让不同路径的Lun聚合成同一个Lun，这就是多路径的作用。

 

二.IBM DS在Rhel5或6的多路径软件RDAC

RDAC下载路径：http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/index.aspx#current 下载相应多路径软件，主要看内核版本（uname -a）和位数，但是大版本尽量相同，例如rhel5.5就尽量找5.5的，若是没有相同版本，那么就找内核相同的

 

三.举例，例如Rhel5.4_64bit，由于以上网站没Rhel5.4_64bit的相版本，最后下载了内核相同的版本，如下：

 

四.把rdac-LINUX- 09.03.0 C05.0439-source.tar.gz上传到rhel5的目录下，然后执行解压

[root@localhost ~]# cd /tmp/
[root@localhost tmp]# ls
gconfd-root rdac-LINUX- 09.03.0 C05.0439-source.tar.gz ssh-hLaPQQ3621
[root@localhost tmp]# tar -zxf rdac-LINUX-09. 03.0C 05.0251-source.tar.g

[root@localhost tmp]# ls
gconfd-root                rdac-LINUX-09. 03.0C 05.0251-source.tar.gz
linuxrdac-09. 03.0C 05.0439 ssh-hLaPQQ3621
[root@localhost tmp]# cd linuxrdac-09. 03.0C 05.0439/
[root@localhost linuxrdac-09. 03.0C 05.0439]# ls
genfileattributes      mppiscsi_umountall     mppLnx26p_vhbatask.c
genuniqueid.c          mpp_linux_headers      mpp_rcscript.REDHAT
hbaCheck               mpp_linux_sys_headers mpp_rcscript.SUSE
License.txt            mppLnx26p_sysdep.c     mppSupport
lsvdev                 mppLnx26p_upper.c      Readme.txt
Makefile               mppLnx26p_vhba.c       setupDriver.REDHAT
mppCmn_s2tos3.c        mppLnx26p_vhbaio.c     setupDriver.SUSE
mppCmn_SysInterface.c mppLnx26p_vhbalib.c    setupMpp26p.sh
mpp.conf               mppLnx26p_vhbamisc.c   utility
MPP_hba.c              mppLnx26p_vhbaproc.c

 

五.安装RDAC

解压后大部分都是二进制文件，需要进编译（指令：make）

[root@localhost lmake clean     -----清除旧文件与驱动程序模块

[root@localhost linuxrdac-09. 03.0C 05.0439]# make

Checking Host Adapter Configuration...
Detected 1 Emulex Host Adapter Port(s) on the system
Detected 1 LSI Host Adapter Port(s) on the system
Host Adapters from different supported vendors co-exists on your system.
Please wait while we modify the system configuration files.
Your kernel version is 2.6.18-164.el5
Preparing to install MPP driver against this kernel version...
Generating module dependencies...
Creating new MPP initrd p_w_picpath...
        You must now edit your boot loader configuration file, /boot/grub/menu.lst, to
        add a new boot menu, which uses mpp-2.6.18-164.el5.img as the initrd p_w_picpath.
        Now Reboot the system for MPP to take effect.
        The new boot menu entry should look something like this (note that it may
        vary with different system configuration):

        ...

                title Red Hat Linux ( 2.6.18 -164.el5) with MPP support
                root (hd0,5)
                kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5 ro root=LABEL=RH9
                initrd / initrd-2.6.18-164.el5.img

        ...
MPP driver package has been successfully installed on your system.

------此次已经把驱动程序的安装包成功安装到操作系统上

 

六.检查生成文件与修改引导镜像

[root@localhost ~]# cd /boot/

[root@localhost boot]# ls

config-2.6.18-164.el5

grub

initrd-2.6.18-164.el5.img

initrd-2.6.18-164.el5kdump.img

lost+found

mpp-2.6.18-164.el5.img

symvers-2.6.18-164.el5.gz

System.map-2.6.18-164.el5

vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5

 

修改menu.lst

将/boot/grub/menu.lst 文件做好备份
redhat5.5 所在目录/boot/grub/menu.lst

把menu.lst最后一条目录initrd /initrd- 2.6.18 -164.el5.img

修改成initrd /mpp-2.6.18-164.el5.img  （事实就是把initrd修改成mpp）

重启rhel服务器，使用fdisk -l 进去查看,此时会把不同路径相同lun的sdn(n=b,c,d......)聚合成一个sdn，还可以使用fdisk /dev/sdn创建分区，使用 mkfs格式化分区
