Multipath configuration
A multipath configuration connects the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to a server via multi-
ple paths (multipath). System reliability is improved due to the path redundancy. For multipath
connections, driver software to control multipathing is required.
If a path fails, access can continue by using the path failover function that switches access from
the failed path to another path. The performance of the system can be improved by using the
load balancing function to spread the access load over multiple paths.
