Task 3: Making Initial Host Settings
After the packages and configuration file are installed, the Host is ready to accept
multipath settings.
Setting the Daemon to Run – RedHat
This action requires RHEL installation with the “linux mpath” Option. See “Before
You Begin” on page 393.
To set the MP daemon to run at boot time:
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Verify that /etc/rc.d/rc[3~5].d/ has a symbolic link to
/etc/rc.d/init.d/multipathd. Also see the Note below.
Run the command:
# ls -al /etc/rc.d/rc[3~5].d/ | grep multipathd
3. If there is no symbolic link, run the command:
# cd /etc/rc.d/rc[3~5].d/
Then run the command:
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/multipathd S13multipathd
Note:
/etc/rc.d/rc[3~5].d
saves a link to start at each run level:
• Run level 3 is for a single user.
• Run level 4 is for multiple users.
• Run level 5 is for multiple users on X Windows.
Setting the Daemon to Run – SuSE
