本篇文章为大家展示了怎样进行EMC存储多路径软件配置，内容简明扼要并且容易理解，绝对能使你眼前一亮，通过这篇文章的详细介绍希望你能有所收获。
EMC PowerPath是用于进行路径选择，冗余和负载均衡的管理软件，相对于HP,IBM等厂商的多路径，
EMC的优势在于能够实现负载均衡，而其他厂家仅支持基本故障切换。
1）安装rpm包
先将powerpath安装包上传到服务器：(D:\EMC存储配置\powerpath)
[root@shcrm tmp]# ls *.rpm
EMCpower.LINUX-5.3.1.00.00-111.rhel.i386.rpm
开始安装：
[root@shcrm tmp]# rpm
-Uvh EMCpower.LINUX-5.3.1.00.00-111.rhel.x86_64.rpm
准备… ########################################### [100%]
1:EMCpower.LINUX ########################################### [100%]
2）注册
注册PowerPathLicense：
[root@shcrm ~]# emcpreg -install
根据提示输入PowerPathLicense
PowerPath
license key: BZPV-ZB4K-BFTK-QOME-ML9O-UYFB
如果您输入了一个有效的注册密钥，您将看到以下输出：
1 Key(s) successfully added.
Key successfully installed:
如果您输入了一个无效的注册密钥，屏幕上将显示一条错误消息，
提示您输入有效的密钥。
3）启动PowerPath
加载PowerPath模块：
[root@shcrm ~]# /etc/init.d/PowerPath
start
查看是否出现新的伪设备：
[root@shcrm ~]# fdisk
-l |grep emcpower
[root@X01A19 tmp]# fdisk -l
