multipath -ll [device]
Display the current multipath topology from all available
sources (including path checkers
multipath -v2 [device]
Re-scan path information
multipath -v3
Display all device information including all paths, source of
attributes (e.g., default)
multipath -p group-policy [<device>]
Set group policy to specified policy (e.g., multipath)
multipath [<device>]
To view the current status of all multipath devices, run the multipath utility:
# multipath -ll
mpath1 (3600c0ff0000000000234320d5321e100)
[size=25 GB][features="0"][hwhandler="0"]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=2]
\_ 2:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [ready]
\_ 3:0:0:0 sde 8:64 [ready]
mpath2 (3600c0ff0000000000234320d5321e101)
[size=25 GB][features="0"][hwhandler="0"]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=2]
\_ 2:0:0:1 sdc 8:32 [ready]
\_ 3:0:0:1 sdf 8:80 [ready]
The information in the map is presented by grouping the paths for storage resource with unique
identifiers. The size, features and the corresponding hardware handlers are also shown:
alias (WWID if different from alias) [size] [features] [hardware handler]
A summary line is displayed for each path group:
\_ scheduling_policy path_group_priority [path_group_status]
After that follow a line for each path in the path group:
\_host:channel:ID:LUN devnode major:minor [path_status] [dm_status]
At various time the status of a path may not be know.
The following display shows devices with custom names (values of alias) that were set in the
configuration file. The presence of a single path in each path group is a result of the attribute
failover for the path_grouping_policy:
