Hi All.

 

I have a HyperScale 1.5 setup, with HBA cards installed on the nodes to be able to do VSA SAN backups.

I have configured the multipath.conf to use round-robin, so the HBA card will utilize both ports on the card

 

I have noticed that even though round-robin have been configured, it seems that only on port is utilized and that the port being used is then being maxed out.

Do I miss somewhere in the HyperScale configuration where I can set the multipath setting or does anyone have any suggestions on how to utilize both ports on the HBA in a HyperScale setup?

 

Regards

-Anders

Hi @ApK 

I think multipath should already be enabled by default, could you run the following and share output?

systemctl status multipathd

Thanks @ApK 

Looks good.. should be functioning as far as I’m aware. May be something at the OS level we need to fix up.

I think we should look at this via an official support case to ensure we’re not missing anything and if escalation is required, we get that done asap.

Please let me know the ticket number once you’ve raised it so I can monitor and we can update this thread with our findings.


Regards,

Chris
