+In turn, the multipath tool signals the multipathd daemon when it is done with 
 devmap reconfiguration, so that it can refresh its failed path list.
 
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-d
+Forground Mode. Don't daemonize, and print all messages to stdout and stderr.
+.TP 
+.B -v "level"
+Verbosity level. Print additional information while running multipathd. A  level of 0 means only print errors. A level of 3 or greater prints debugging information as well. 
+.TP
+.B -k 
+multipathd will enter interactive mode. From this mode, the available commands can be viewed by entering "help". When you are finished entering commands, press CTRL-D to quit.
+
+.SH COMMANDS
+.TP
+The following commands can be used in interactive mode:
+.TP
+.B list|show paths
+Show the paths that multipathd is monitoring, and their state. 
+.TP
+.B list|show maps|multipaths
+Show the multipath devices that the multipathd is monitoring. 
+.TP
+.B list|show maps|multipaths status
+Show the status of all multipath devices that the multipathd is monitoring.
+.TP
+.B list|show maps|multipaths stats
+Show some statistics of all multipath devices that the multipathd is monitoring.
+.TP
+.B list|show maps|multipaths topology
+Show the current multipath topology. Same as "multipath -ll".
+.TP
+.B list|show topology
+Show the current multipath topology. Same as "multipath -ll".
+.TP
+.B list|show map|multipath $map topology
+Show topology of a single multipath device specified by $map, e.g. 36005076303ffc56200000000000010aa.
+This map could be obtained from "list maps".
+.TP
+.B list|show config
+Show the currently used configuration, derived from default values and values specified within the configuration file /etc/multipath.conf.
+.TP
+.B list|show blacklist
+Show the currently used blacklist rules, derived from default values and values specified within the configuration file /etc/multipath.conf.
+.TP
+.B list|show devices
+Show all available block devices by name including the information if they are blacklisted or not.
+.TP
+.B add path $path
+Add a path to the list of monitored paths. $path is as listed in /sys/block (e.g. sda).
+.TP 
+.B remove|del path $path
+Stop monitoring a path. $path is as listed in /sys/block (e.g. sda).
+.TP
+.B add map $map
+Add a multipath device to the list of monitored devices. $map can either be a device-mapper device as listed in /sys/block (e.g. dm-0) or it can be the alias for the multipath device (e.g. mpath1) or the uid of the multipath device (e.g. 36005076303ffc56200000000000010aa). 
+.TP
+.B remove|del map $map
+Stop monitoring a multipath device.
+.TP 
+.B switch|switchgroup map $map group $group
+Force a multipath device to switch to a specific path group. $group is the path group index, starting with 1.
+.TP
+.B reconfigure
+Reconfigures the multipaths. This should be triggered automatically after any hotplug event.
+.TP
+.B suspend map|multipath $map
+Sets map $map into suspend state.
+.TP
+.B resume map|multipath $map
+Resumes map $map from suspend state.
+.TP
+.B fail path $path
+Sets path $path into failed state.
+.TP
+.B reinstate path $path
+Resumes path $path from failed state.
+

+ * Version 1.12
+ *
+ * Prioritizer for multipath tools device mapper and HDS Storage
+ *
+ * Hitachis Modular Storage contains two controllers for redundancy. The
+ * Storage internal LUN (LDEV) will normally allocated via two pathes to the
+ * server (one path per controller). For performance reasons should the server
+ * access to a LDEV only via one controller. The other path to the other
+ * controller is stand-by. It is also possible to allocate more as one path
+ * for a LDEV per controller. Here is active/active access allowed. The other
+ * pathes via the other controller are stand-by.
+ * 
+ * This prioritizer checks with inquiry commands the represented LDEV and
+ * Controller number and gives back a priority followed by this scheme :
+ *
+ * CONTROLLER ODD  and LDEV  ODD: PRIORITY 1
+ * CONTROLLER ODD  and LDEV EVEN: PRIORITY 0
+ * CONTROLLER EVEN and LDEV  ODD: PRIORITY 0
+ * CONTROLLER EVEN and LDEV EVEN: PRIORITY 1
+ *
+ * In the storage you can define for each LDEV a owner controller. If the
+ * server makes IOs via the other controller the storage will switch the
+ * ownership automatically. In this case you can see in the storage that the
+ * current controller is different from the default controller, but this is
+ * absolutely no problem.
+ *
+ * With this prioritizer it is possible to establish a static load balancing.
+ * Half of the LUNs are accessed via one HBA/storage controller and the other
+ * half via the other HBA/storage controller.
+ *
+ * In cluster environmemnts (RAC) it also guarantees that all cluster nodes
+ * have access to the LDEVs via the same controller.
+ * 
+ * You can run the prioritizer manually in verbose mode :
+ * # pp_hds_modular -v 8:224
