Multipath for LInux RED HAT 4.5

[FOBF]

Hi i wish to know if somebody has the software multipath for linux red hat 4.5, because the oldest version that it is in the page of HP is for RED HAT 4.6

Thanks.

You may find it in RHN or you may have a look at the binary compatible CentOS 4 (this may void your vendor support).

Hi,

The package you sent me is 64 bits, should be 32 because the linux i heve installed is for 32bits.

waiting for your prompt response.

Thanks.

A certain old TV series/movie character might have said at this point: "Dammit FOBF, we are sysadmins, not mind readers!"

You might also want to remember two common identifiers in Linux world:

x86_64 = 64-bit version for PC hardware
i386 (or ix86) = 32-bit version for PC hardware

So, by replacing "x86_64" with "i386" in the URL of the 64-bit version will usually give you the respective 32-bit version.

http://vault.centos.org/4.5/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-21.RHEL4.i386.rpm

And if you have a 32-bit RHEL 4.5 installation media available to you, you should find the genuine RedHat device-mapper-multipath-*.i386.rpm on it too.
