Subject: [PATCH] RH: add mpathconf

mpathconf is a program (largely based on lvmcomf) to help users

configure /etc/multipath.conf and enable or disable multipathing.  It

has a couple of built-in options that can be set directly from the

command line.  But, mostly it is used to get a multipath.conf file

with the OS defaults, and to enable and disable multipathing via

a single command.

+.TH MPATHCONF 8 "June 2010" "" "Linux Administrator's Manual"

+.SH NAME

+mpathconf - A tool for configuring device-mapper-multipath

+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.B mpathconf

+.RB [\| commands \|]

+.RB [\| options \|]

+.SH DESCRIPTION

+.B mpathconf

+is a utility that creates or modifies

+.B /etc/multipath.conf.

+It can enable or disable multipathing and configure some common options.

+.B mpathconf

+can also load the

+.B dm_multipath

+module, start and stop the

+.B multipathd

+daemon, and configure the

+.B multipathd

+service to start automatically or not. If

+.B mpathconf

+is called with no commands, it will display the current configuration, but

+will not create of modify

+.B /etc/multipath.conf

+

+The default options for mpathconf are

+.B --with_module

+The

+.B --with_multipathd

+option is not set by default.  Enabling multipathing will load the

+.B dm_multipath

+module but it will not immediately start it. This is so

+that users can manually edit their config file if necessary, before starting

+.B multipathd.

+

+If

+.B /etc/multipath.conf

+already exists, mpathconf will edit it. If it does not exist, mpathconf will

+create a default file with

+.B user_friendly_names

+and

+.B find_multipaths

+set. To disable these, use the

+.B --user_friendly_names n

+and

+.B --find_multipaths n

+options

+.SH COMMANDS

+.TP

+.B --enable

+Removes any line that blacklists all device nodes from the

+.B /etc/multipath.conf

+blacklist section. Also, creates

+.B /etc/multipath.conf

+if it doesn't exist.

+.TP

+.B --disable

+Adds a line that blacklists all device nodes to the

+.B /etc/multipath.conf

+blacklist section. If no blacklist section exists, it will create one.

+.TP

+.B --allow \fB<device>\fP

+Modifies the \fB/etc/multipath/conf\fP blacklist to blacklist all

+wwids and the blacklist_exceptions to whitelist \fB<device>\fP. \fB<device>\fP

+can be in the form of MAJOR:MINOR, a wwid, or the name of a device-mapper

+device, either a multipath device, or any device on stacked on top of one or

+more multipath devices. This command can be used multiple times to allow

+multiple devices.  \fBNOTE:\fP This action will create a configuration file that

+mpathconf will not be able to revert back to its previous state. Because

+of this, \fB--outfile\fP is required when using \fB--allow\fP.

+.TP

+.B --user_friendly_name \fP { \fBy\fP | \fBn\fP }

+If set to \fBy\fP, this adds the line

+.B user_friendly_names yes

+to the

+.B /etc/multipath.conf

+defaults section. If set to \fBn\fP, this removes the line, if present. This

+command can be used along with any other command.

+.TP

+.B --find_multipaths\fP { \fBy\fP | \fBn\fP }

+If set to \fBy\fP, this adds the line

+.B find_multipaths yes

+to the

+.B /etc/multipath.conf

+defaults section. If set to \fBn\fP, this removes the line, if present. This

+command can be used aldong with any other command.

+.TP

+.B --outfile \fB<filename>\fP

+Write the resulting multipath configuration to \fB<filename>\fP instead of

+\fB/etc/multipath.conf\fP.

+.SH OPTIONS

+.TP

+.B --with_module\fP { \fBy\fP | \fBn\fP }

+If set to \fBy\fP, this runs

+.B modprobe dm_multipath

+to install the multipath modules. This option only works with the

+.B --enable

+command. This option is set to \fBy\fP by default.

+.TP

+.B --with_multipathd { \fBy\fP | \fBn\fP }

+If set to \fBy\fP, this runs

+.B service multipathd start

+to start the multipathd daemon on \fB--enable\fP,

+.B service multipathd stop

+to stop the multipathd daemon on \fB--disable\fP, and

+.B service multipathd reload

+to reconfigure multipathd on \fB--user_frindly_names\fP and

+\fB--find_multipaths\fP.

+This option is set to \fBn\fP by default.
