深度分析LINUX环境下如何配置multipath
免费下载资源
首先介绍一下什么是多路径（multi-path）?先说说多路径功能产生的背景，在多路径功能出现之前，主机上的硬盘是直接挂接到一个总线（PCI）上，路径是一对一的关系，也就是一条路径指向一个硬盘或是存储设备，这样的一对一关系对于操作系统而言，处理相对简单，但是缺少了可靠性。当出现了光纤通道网络（Fibre Channle）也就是通常所说的SAN网络时，或者由iSCSI组成的IPSAN环境时，由于主机和存储之间通过光纤通道交换机或者多块网卡及IP来连接时，构成了多对多关系的IO通道，也就是说一台主机到一台存储设备之间存在多条路径。当这些路径同时生效时，I/O流量如何分配和调度，如何做IO流量的负载均衡，如何做主备。这种背景下多路径软件就产生了。
多路径的主要功能就是和存储设备一起配合实现如下功能：
1.故障的切换和恢复
2.IO流量的负载均衡
3.磁盘的虚拟化
在linux操作系统中，RedHat和Suse的2.6的内核中都自带了免费的多路径软件包，ESX操作系统下也是自带了免费的多路径功能，而windows操作系统下，就需要购买一个叫MPIO的软件lience才能使用multi-path多路径功能。其他windows和ESX操作系统下的多路径 功能都是图形化界面比较简单这里就不多做介绍了，在这里就是介绍一下linux环境下如何配置multi-path多路径功能。
1、device-mapper-multipath：即multipath-tools。主要提供multipathd和multipath等工具和 multipath.conf等配置文件。这些工具通过device mapper的ioctr的接口创建和配置multipath，设备创建的多路径设备映射会在/dev /mapper中。
2、 device-mapper：主要包括两大部分：内核部分和用户部分。内核部分主要由device mapper核心（dm.ko）和一些target driver（md-multipath.ko）。核心完成设备的映射，而target根据映射关系和自身特点具体处理从mappered device 下来的i/o。同时，在核心部分，提供了一个接口，用户通过ioctr可和内核部分通信，以指导内核驱动的行为，比如如何创建mappered device，这些divece的属性等。linux device mapper的用户空间部分主要包括device-mapper这个包。其中包括dmsetup工具和一些帮助创建和配置mappered device的库。这些库主要抽象，封装了与ioctr通信的接口，以便方便创建和配置mappered device。multipath-tool的程序中就需要调用这些库。
3、dm-multipath.ko和dm.ko：dm.ko是device mapper驱动。它是实现multipath的基础。dm-multipath其实是dm的一个target驱动。
4、scsi_id： 包含在udev程序包中，可以在multipath.conf中配置该程序来获取scsi设备的序号。通过序号，便可以判断多个路径对应了同一设备。这个是多路径实现的关键。scsi_id是通过sg驱动，向设备发送EVPD page80或page83 的inquery命令来查询scsi设备的标识。但一些设备并不支持EVPD 的inquery命令，所以他们无法被用来生成multipath设备。但可以改写scsi_id，为不能提供scsi设备标识的设备虚拟一个标识符，并输出到标准输出。multipath程序在创建multipath设备时，会调用scsi_id，从其标准输出中获得该设备的scsi id。在改写时，需要修改scsi_id程序的返回值为0。因为在multipath程序中，会检查该值来确定scsi id是否已经成功得到。
二、multipath在redhat 6.2中的基本配置：
1. 通过命令：lsmod |grep dm_multipath 检查是否正常安装成功。如果没有输出说明没有安装那么通过yum功能安装一下软件包：yum –y install device-mapper device-mapper-multipath
接着通过命令：multipath –ll 查看多路径状态查看模块是否加载成功
[root@liujing ~]# multipath –ll 查看多路径状态
Mar 10 19:18:28 | /etc/multipath.conf does not exist, blacklisting all devices.
Mar 10 19:18:28 | A sample multipath.conf file is located at
Mar 10 19:18:28 | /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9/multipath.conf
Mar 10 19:18:28 | You can run /sbin/mpathconf to create or modify /etc/multipath.conf
Mar 10 19:18:28 | DM multipath kernel driver not loaded ----DM模块没有加载如果模块没有加载成功请使用下列命初始化DM,或重启系统
---Use the following commands to initialize and start DM for the first time:
# modprobe dm-multipath
# modprobe dm-round-robin
# service multipathd start
# multipath –v2初始化完了之后再通过multipath -ll命令查看是否加载成功
[root@liujing ~]# multipath -ll
Mar 10 19:21:14 | /etc/multipath.conf does not exist, blacklisting all devices.
Mar 10 19:21:14 | A sample multipath.conf file is located at
Mar 10 19:21:14 | /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9/multipath.conf
Mar 10 19:21:14 | You can run /sbin/mpathconf to create or modify /etc/multipath.conf
DM multipath kernel driver not loaded ----这个提示没了说明DM模块已加载成功。从上面的提示可以看到，DM模块是成功加载，但是/etc/下没有multipath.conf 配置文件，下一步介绍如何配置multipath.conf 文件。
2. 配置multipath：
通过vi命令创建一个Multipath的配置文件路径是/etc/multipath.conf ,在配置文件中添加multipath正常工作的最简配置如下：
vi /etc/multipath.conf
blacklist {
devnode "^sda"
}
defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
path_grouping_policy multibus
failback immediate
no_path_retry fail
}编辑完成后保存配置，同时通过命令：
#开启mulitipath服务
# /etc/init.d/multipathd start 如果出现无法开启服务的情况，没有提示OK的话如下：
[root@liujing mapper]# service multipathd start
Starting multipathd daemon: 没有提示OK
重新开关一下服务就可以解决了。
[root@liujing mapper]# /etc/init.d/multipathd stop
Stopping multipathd daemon: [ OK ]
[root@localhost mapper]# /etc/init.d/multipathd start
Starting multipathd daemon: [ OK ] -----提示OK 正常开启服务通过命令查看：
[root@liujing mapper]# multipath -ll
mpatha (360a9800064665072443469563477396c) dm-0 NETAPP,LUN ----创建了一个lun

`- 2:0:0:0 sde 8:64 active ready running目录/dev/mapper/ 下多了两个文件夹mpatha 和mpathap1。
[root@liujing mapper]# cd /dev/mapper/
[root@liujing mapper]# ls
control mpatha mpathap1同时fdisk –l的命令下也多了两个设备标识：
没有配置多路径时：
[root@liujing~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/mapper/mpathap1 doesn't contain a valid partition table# multipath -F #删除现有路径 两个新的路径就会被删除

3. multipath磁盘的基本操作
要对多路径软件生成的磁盘进行操作直接操作/dev/mapper/目录下的磁盘就行.
在对多路径软件生成的磁盘进行分区之前最好运行一下pvcreate命令:
# pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpatha
# fdisk /dev/mapper/mpatha 分区时用这个目录/dev/mapper/mpatha
用fdisk对多路径软件生成的磁盘进行分区保存时会有一个报错,此报错不用理会.
# ls -l /dev/mapper/
[root@liujing mnt]# ls -l /dev/mapper/
total 0
crw-rw----. 1 root root 10, 58 Mar 10 19:10 control
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 10 20:28 mpatha -> ../dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 10 20:33 mpathap1 -> ../dm-1
的mpathap1就是我们对multipath磁盘进行的分区
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/mpathap1 #对mpath1p1分区格式化成ext4文件系统
# mount /dev/mapper/mpathap1 /mnt/ #挂载mpathap1分区
格式化和挂载时用/dev/mapper/mpathap1
4. 分区磁盘：
上面有提到分区时用目录/dev/mapper/mpatha
[root@liujing~]# fdisk /dev/mapper/mpatha
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xac956c3a.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
sectors (command 'u').
Command (m for help): n------------------------新建分区
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p-----------------------------主分区
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-1016, default 1):
Using default value 1
Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (1-1016, default 1016):
Using default value 1016
Command (m for help): w ---------------------写入列表相当于保存
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.注：如果同一台设备的两个node挂同样的盘符，另一个盘符还需要再次写入w就行。不需要n了。
5. 格式化：
[root@liujing ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/mpathap1
mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
/dev/sdd1 alignment is offset by 1024 bytes.
This may result in very poor performance, (re)-partitioning suggested.

[root@liujing ~]# mount /dev/mapper/mpathap1 /mnt
三、multipath的高级配置之前的配置都是用multipath的默认配置来完成multipath，比如映射设备的名称，multipath负载均衡的方法都是默认设置。那有没有按照我们自己定义的方法来配置multipath呢，答案是OK。
1、multipath.conf文件的配置
接下来的工作就是要编辑/etc/multipath.conf的配置文件
multipath.conf主要包括blacklist、multipaths、devices三部份的配置
blacklist配置
blacklist {
devnode "^sda"
}
Multipaths部分配置multipaths和devices两部份的配置。
multipaths {
multipath {
wwid **************** #此值multipath -v3可以看到
alias iscsi-dm0 #映射后的别名,可以随便取
path_grouping_policy multibus #路径组策略
path_checker tur #决定路径状态的方法
path_selector "round-robin 0" #选择那条路径进行下一个IO操作的方法
}
}
Devices部分配置
devices {
device {
vendor "iSCSI-Enterprise" #厂商名称
product "Virtual disk" #产品型号
path_grouping_policy multibus #默认的路径组策略
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n" #获得唯一设备号使用的默认程序
prio_callout "/sbin/acs_prio_alua %d" #获取有限级数值使用的默认程序
path_checker readsector0 #决定路径状态的方法
path_selector "round-robin 0" #选择那条路径进行下一个IO操作的方法
failback immediate #故障恢复的模式
no_path_retry queue #在disable queue之前系统尝试使用失效路径的次数的数值
rr_min_io 100 #在当前的用户组中，在切换到另外一条路径之前的IO请求的数目
}
}
下面是相关参数的标准文档的介绍：
| Attribute | Description | |||||||||
| wwid | Specifies the WWID of the multipath device to which the multipath attributes apply. This parameter is mandatory for this section of themultipath.conf file. | |||||||||
| alias | Specifies the symbolic name for the multipath device to which themultipath attributes apply. If you are using user_friendly_names, do not set this value tompathn; this may conflict with an automatically assigned user friendly name and give you incorrect device node names. | |||||||||
| path_grouping_policy |
| |||||||||
| path_selector |
| |||||||||
| failback |
| |||||||||
| prio |
| |||||||||
| no_path_retry |
| |||||||||
| rr_min_io | Specifies the number of I/O requests to route to a path before switching to the next path in the current path group. This setting is only for systems running kernels older that 2.6.31. Newer systems should userr_min_io_rq. The default value is 1000. | |||||||||
| rr_min_io_rq | Specifies the number of I/O requests to route to a path before switching to the next path in the current path group, using request-based device-mapper-multipath. This setting should be used on systems running current kernels. On systems running kernels older than 2.6.31, use rr_min_io. The default value is 1. | |||||||||
| rr_weight | If set to priorities, then instead of sending rr_min_io requests to a path before callingpath_selector to choose the next path, the number of requests to send is determined byrr_min_io times the path's priority, as determined by the prio function. If set touniform, all path weights are equal. | |||||||||
| flush_on_last_del | If set to yes, then multipath will disable queueing when the last path to a device has been deleted. |
在我本地的一个完整的高级配置如下：
[root@liujing ~]# vi /etc/multipath.conf
blacklist {
devnode "^sda"
}
multipaths {
multipath {
wwid 360a98000646650724434697454546156
alias mpathb_fcoe
path_grouping_policy multibus
#path_checker "directio"
prio "random"
path_selector "round-robin 0"
}
}
devices {
device {
vendor "NETAPP"
product "LUN"
getuid_callout "/lib/udev/scsi_id --whitelisted --device=/dev/%n"
#path_checker "directio"
#path_selector "round-robin 0"
failback immediate
no_path_retry fail
}
}其中 wwid，vendor，product， getuid_callout这些参数可以通过：multipath -v3命令来获取。如果在/etc/multipath.conf中有设定各wwid 别名,别名会覆盖此设定。
可以使用dd命令来对设备进行读写操作，并同时通过iostat来查看I／0状态，流量从哪个路径出去：
DD命令：dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1Gfile bs=8k count=131072 在上面我们已经把磁盘挂载在/MNT文件夹下所以我们在读写磁盘时直接对/mnt文件夹直接读写就可以了。
如果想对磁盘重复读写可以用如下语句：
[root@liujing ~]# for ((i=1;i<=5;i++));do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1Gfile bs=8k count=131072 2>&1|grep MB;done; ---重复读写5次这个值可以根据自己测试需求修改。
另一个控制台输入iostat 2 10查看IO读写状态：
可以看到sdc和sdd是两个多路径的盘符，流量均匀的负载在两条路径中，负载均衡很成功。
将其中一条路径的端口down掉，所有流量会直接切换到另一个路径中。
