Hi

I have recently setup new san storage using multipath to access it.

when adding an alias multipath.conf

multipaths {

        multipath {

                wwid                    350002ac014??????

                alias                   authdb-storage

                }

        }

The alias gets put in /dev/mapper/authdb-storage

/dev/mpath/<wwid> might be more accurate or definitive.

My question is simple, which is the most approprate path to access the storage from,

/dev/mapper/ or /dev/mpath/ ?

Regards
