Enable multipathing on an ESXi host with SAS volumes
If you have more than one SAS HBA connection to each
ME5 controller, perform the following steps to enable multipathing. If you have only one SAS HBA connection to each
ME5 controller, you do not need to modify the multipathing policy.
Steps
Select the newly created datastore.
Select the
Configure tab and click
Connectivity and Multipathing.
Select the host to use for multipathing.
Under Multipathing Policies click
Actions and select
Edit Multipathing.
In the
Edit Multipathing Policies window, select
Round Robin (VMware) from the
Path selection policy drop-down list.
NOTE The VMware multipathing policy defaults to
Most Recently Used (VMware). Use the default policy for a host with one SAS HBA that has a single path to both controllers. If the host has two SAS HBAs (for example, the host has two paths to each controller),
Dell recommends that you change the multipathing policy to
Round Robin (VMware).
Repeat this process for each SAS volume that is attached to the ESXi host.
NOTE For detailed steps and custom commands for MPIO see the
Dell PowerVault ME5 Series: VMware vSphere Best Practices guide.
