MULTIPATHD(8) System Manager's Manual MULTIPATHD(8)
NAME
multipathd - multipath daemon
SYNOPSIS
multipathd [options]
DESCRIPTION
The multipathd daemon is in charge of checking for failed paths. When this happens, it will reconfigure the multipath map the path belongs
to, so that this map regains its maximum performance and redundancy.
This daemon executes the external multipath config tool when events occur. In turn, the multipath tool signals the multipathd daemon when
it is done with devmap reconfiguration, so that it can refresh its failed path list.
OPTIONS
-d Forground Mode. Don't daemonize, and print all messages to stdout and stderr.
-v level
Verbosity level. Print additional information while running multipathd. A level of 0 means only print errors. A level of 3 or
greater prints debugging information as well.
-k multipathd will enter interactive mode. From this mode, the available commands can be viewed by entering "help". When you are fin-
ished entering commands, press CTRL-D to quit.
COMMANDS
The following commands can be used in interactive mode:
list|show paths
Show the paths that multipathd is monitoring, and their state.
list|show paths format $format
Show the paths that multipathd is monitoring, using a format string with path format wildcards.
list|show maps|multipaths

list|show maps|multipaths format $format
Show the status of all multipath devices that the multipathd is monitoring, using a format string with multipath format wildcards.

list|show map|multipath $map topology
Show topology of a single multipath device specified by $map, e.g. 36005076303ffc56200000000000010aa. This map could be obtained
from "list maps".
