Redundancy
DM-Multipath can provide failover in an active/passive configuration. In an active/passive
configuration, only half the paths are used at any time for I/O. If any element of an I/O path (the
cable, switch, or controller) fails, DM-Multipath switches to an alternate path.
Improved Performance
DM-Multipath can be configured in active/active mode, where I/O is spread over the paths in a
round-robin fashion. In some configurations, DM-Multipath can detect loading on the I/O paths and
dynamically re-balance the load.
Important
For comprehensive information on the deployment and configuration of DM-Multipath in your
environment, please refer to the Using DM-Multipath guide provided by Red Hat.
