EMC PowerPath basic commands RedHat /CentOS

PowerPath is a multipathing software for Unix operating systems from EMC. If you have ever worked or you are going to work in an environment that includes EMC storage systems it is more than sure that Powerpath will be installed in the Unix hosts.
Following are some notes and tips I’ve been creating since the very first time I found Powerpath, of course this isn’t a full user guide but a sort of personal quick reference. I decide to put it here in the hope that it will be helpful to anyone and for my personal use.

Show powermt command version

Display PowerPath configuration.

 Check for death paths and remove them. List all devices.

Cluster How to CentOS / RedHat 6.2

Step # 1: Mount an ISO file.

# mkdir -p /media/centos
# mount -o loop /dev/centos6X.iso /media/centos

Step # 2: Create repo config file on both the node.

# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/iso.repo
[ISO]
baseurl=file:///media/centos
enabled=1

Save and close the file

Step # 3: Stop firewall on both node.

#chkconfig iptables off
#chkconfig ip6tables off

Step # 4: Disable Selinux.

#vi /etc/selinux/config
disbale selinux

reboot (if you want)

Step # 5: Add hosts entery on both node.

#vi /etc/hosts
192.168.1.10 node1.clustering.com
192.168.1.11 node2.clustering.com (add this entery to both the node)

Step # 6: Create a ricci user & passwd.

#useradd ricci
#passwd ricci

Step # 7: Install Cluster software.

#yum install cman rgmanager luci ricci (on 1st node)
#yum install cman rgmanager ricci

Step # 8: Start service on both node

#service ricci start (on both the node)

Shutting down ricci:
Starting oddjobd:                                          [  OK  ]
generating SSL certificates...  done
Generating NSS database...  done
Starting ricci:                                            [  OK  ]

#service luci start (on 1st node only)
