Setting multipath policy for a volume

You can set the multipath policy for a single volume.

About this task

By default, the Round Robin multipath policy is enforced on volumes. You can disable or change this policy for a specific volume if needed.

Note: If you are using ESXi version 5.1 or earlier with DS8000® Family or Spectrum Virtualize Family systems, see Setting the multipath policy for DS8000 Family and Spectrum Virtualize Family systems.

In vSphere Web Client, locate a volume for which you want to change the multipath policy by going to IBM Storage Volumes and selecting the required volume.
Right-click the volume and choose Multipath Policy.
