Multipathing support for hosts that run the Windows Server operating system

Hosts that run the Microsoft Windows Server operating system require multipathing software.

The following website provides current interoperability information:

There are two multipathing options for Windows Server operating systems:

Microsoft Device Specific Module (MSDSM), which is the recommended multipathing driver. It is included in the Windows Server operating system.
Subsystem Device Driver Device Specific Module (SDDDSM), which is the legacy IBM multipathing driver for older Windows Server operating systems.

The Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature must also be enabled when using either MSDSM or SDDDSM.
