Path Group 2

\_ 2:0:0:2 sdf 8:80 [active][ready]

The example above shows a second path group to the same device (referenced in Path Group

1) within the Priority Group. This path group has a lower priority (prio=10) than path group 1

(prio=50). The path group state of this path group is “enabled”, meaning it is ready to service

IO, but is not the optimal path to send IO requests through. The physical path state is “ready”

to accept IO requests and the device mapper path state is “active”, which infers the path was

last tested successfully.
