Goal

This article describes how to check the status of paths, and fail a path and then re-enable it to test redundancy with the multipathd service on Oracle Linux. Although a more complete test would be to fail a path from a storage appliance, there may be situations where a systems administrator of a Linux server wants to test the multipath configuration on the Linux server itself, without making any changes on a storage appliance that could also be being used by other servers.
