From 6d98a7d772175321c3082cdcbf9820133e9f83e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Denny Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 15:38:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Global Cinder setting not seen by group conf This patch documents how to configure Fiber Channel configuration groups with copy image to volume multipathing option. Since LVM doesn't support multipath I've used HP 3PAR and EMC as examples.
