You must install multipathing software on all z Systems® hosts that are attached to the system.

On z Systems hosts that are running the Linux operating system, the following software provides multipathing support:
Linux Kernel 2.4
The logical volume manager.
Linux Kernel 2.6
  • The multipath-tools package on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
  • The device-mapper-multipath package on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

For more information about using the logical volume manager or the multipathing tools package with z Systems hosts that run Linux kernel 2.4 or Linux kernel 2.6, see the documentation at the following website:
