I have a storage unit, connected to the host server via scsi cables. There are two controllers on the storage unit, controller-A and controller-B, each with 1 scsi cable connecting it to the host. After creating one disk group, under controller-A, making a volume... my choices for mapping the one volume are - 'All Initiators' - * - s001-0 - s001-1 If I only map to s001-0 then my storage unit shows up via lsblk as /dev/sdb. If I map to either * or All initiators then lsblk reports /dev/sdb |_ mpatha /dev/sdc |_ mpatha It is here that I don't understand *multipathing* on how it's supposed to happen in RHEL 7.9, how do I properly mount my storage array? I've already been successful in having just the one mapping... - to s000-0 - then just one block device /dev/sdb shows up, - I can parted mklabel gpt - parted mkpart -a optimal primary 0% 100% to get just /dev/sdb1 - Then do mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb1 followed by mount /dev/sdb1 /data. *how do I properly make use of multipathing, under RHEL 7.9, when I map my one storage volume to all initiators* to correctly mount my storage unit?
