RHEA-2018:2464 - device-mapper-multipath enhancement update
Synopsis
device-mapper-multipath enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory None
Topic
Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The device-mapper-multipath packages provide tools that use the device-mapper multipath kernel module to manage multipath devices.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- Device Mapper Multipath (DM Multipath) now supports the "protocol" configuration option in the "blacklist" and "blacklist_exceptions" configuration sections. This enables you to blacklist or whitelist paths based on the used protocol, such as "scsi" for SCSI or "nvme" for Non-volatile Memory Express. For SCSI devices, you can also specify the transport: for example scsi:fcp or scsi:iscsi. (BZ#1607749)
Users of device-mapper-multipath are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
