multipath tool for RedHat
|

| Hi,
Are there any multipath (load-balancing and fail over) tools for
RedHat? I would like to use Hitachi storage via Fibre Channel using 2+
paths. Therefore, I need a software for multipath. I do not want to use
HDS' HDLM (Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager) because of its supporting
issues.
Thanks and best regards,
Mehmet

Redhat 4.2 includes the multipath support provided by dm-mapper & friends.
The qlogic drivers (available from qlogic) also support multipathing, but
it is a bit flakey on 4.2 and they do strange things with the /dev/ namespace.
