A continuación se muestra un ejemplo /etc/multipath.conf archivo tomado de CentOS 7.4, del directorio /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9.
# This is a basic configuration file with some examples, for device mapper
# multipath.
#
# For a complete list of the default configuration values, run either
# multipath -t
# or
# multipathd show config
#
# For a list of configuration options with descriptions, see the multipath.conf
# man page
## By default, devices with vendor = "IBM" and product = "S/390.*" are
## blacklisted. To enable mulitpathing on these devies, uncomment the
## following lines.
#blacklist_exceptions {
# device {
# vendor "IBM"
# product "S/390.*"
# }
#}
## Use user friendly names, instead of using WWIDs as names.
defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
find_multipaths yes
}
##
## Here is an example of how to configure some standard options.
##
#
#defaults {
# polling_interval 10
# path_selector "round-robin 0"
# path_grouping_policy multibus
# uid_attribute ID_SERIAL
# prio alua
# path_checker readsector0
# rr_min_io 100
# max_fds 8192
# rr_weight priorities
# failback immediate
# no_path_retry fail
# user_friendly_names yes
#}
##
## The wwid line in the following blacklist section is shown as an example
## of how to blacklist devices by wwid. The 2 devnode lines are the
## compiled in default blacklist. If you want to blacklist entire types
## of devices, such as all scsi devices, you should use a devnode line.
## However, if you want to blacklist specific devices, you should use
## a wwid line. Since there is no guarantee that a specific device will
## not change names on reboot (from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb for example)
## devnode lines are not recommended for blacklisting specific devices.
