Post-installation configuration for UnitedLinux

After installing Smart Array Multipath software on a server with a UnitedLinux operating system, configure
for multipath operations.
Review the following sample configuration procedure. This sample assumes that the user wants to set
/dev/cciss/c1d0p2 and /dev/cciss/c2d0p2 to point to the same volume as a multipath device.
To configure the system for multipath use:
Be sure that the MSA500 G2 storage system contains two identical MSA500 G2 controllers

connected to the same logical volume.
To create multipath device /dev/md0, run:
2.
mdadm -–create -–level multipath –n 2 /dev/md0 /dev/cciss/c1d0p2
/dev/cciss/c2d0p2
