[CentOS] multipath recipe for an enclosure ?

2018-06-28 Thread lejeczek via CentOS
hi guys, In hope that some experts roam around I post this one question - how do you multipath disks(all disks) that sit in one specific SAS enclosure? Blacklist everything else. And I'm hoping for something like "globing", so you do not want to go through it on by single disk/wwin basis.
