prio_callout

All,

I have a specific need to use my own path priorities – now you have removed the prio_callout from Redhat 6.2 – are there any other ways I can do this?

Or do you have some instructions for defining custom path priorities?

Thanks,

You can point multipathd to a custom shared library.
To develop one, the easiest path is 

- cloning the upsteam repo
- copy an existing prioritizer (ex. libmultipath/prioritizers/const.c)
- modify it to suit your needs
- add it to libmultipath/prioritizers/Makefile
- rebuild


Only the getprio function is called by multipathd, and its return code
is the weight of the path passed as argument. Not as easy as a script,
but close ... and you gain the memlocking of the shared lib at
multipathd startup.

You may also check if the weighedpath prioritizer implements what you
need.
