[NCSA] TriLUG meeting on 3/8 - device mapper multipath

[NC*SA Announcements List - Moderated]

TriLUG March 8 Meeting - Device Mapper Multipath
http://trilug.org/2012-03-08/device-mapper-multipath

Presenter: Adam Drew

Synopsis:

In enterprise environments fault tolerance, redundancy, and high
throughput are all major concerns. And there are few places where these
concerns are as pressing as they are for enterprise storage. Multipath
is a storage technology that fulfills all of these requirements and
Device Mapper Multipath is a native multipathing solution for Linux
systems. Though Device Mapper Multipath is mature, stable, and widely
deployed it is often misunderstood and incorrectly deployed.

This presentation explains Device Mapper Multipath starting at theory of
operation, to deployment, and finally through troubleshooting. The goal
of the presentation is to provide a clear and complete description of
how to deploy, understand, and resolve issues with Device Mapper
Multipath on Linux systems. The material will be presented with a focus
on Device Mapper Multipath on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 but is also applicable to Fedora, CentOS, Scientific
Linux, and other Fedora-derived distributions.
