How do I get multipathd to notice my drbd block devices?
RHEL5 (Oracle VM 3.0.3.127, actually), 2.6.32.21-45xen.
Drbd 8.4.1:
multipath-tools says v0.4.9. I can't seem to find the multipath version.
resource r0 {
on OVMPam {
volume 0 {
device /dev/drbd0 minor 0;
disk /dev/sdb;
meta-disk internal;
}
address ipv4 172.30.0.167:7789;
}
on DRPam {
volume 0 {
device /dev/drbd0 minor 0;
disk /dev/sdb;
meta-disk internal;
}
address ipv4 172.30.0.170:7789;
}
startup {
become-primary-on OVMPam;
}
}
As-distributed global.
All multipath commands reply "Apr 09 08:10:50 | DM multipath kernel driver
not loaded", as if no devices were detected at boot time.
I have drbd start before multipathd.
Relax, I have no plans to multipath to this device, Oracle VM looks only in
/dev/mapper for repository candidates.
