Alternate Path Mode for Connecting IBM DS8000 Series

The alternate path mode for an IBM DS8000 series is Single by default. The alternate path mode for
all IBM DS8000 series connected as external Storage can be changed to Multi when System Option
Mode 566 to ON. Please call the Support Center to arrange for this mode to be set to ON and
activated.

NOTE:

This System Option Mode requires minimum Microcode Version 50-09-77-00/00 (or higher).
This mode can be changed either to ON or OFF non-disruptively.
This mode can be changed by authorized service personnel.
To immediately activate the mode, perform [Check Paths] for a V-VOL that has already been mapped
to the DS8000. For more information about [Check Paths], see

Restoring paths to an external LU by

specifying a local array's port (Check Paths)

” on page 129. Note that once per hour a device health

check is automatically run which will change the path mode to reflect the setting of Mode 566 (Single
or Multi) without the need to perform [Check Paths].
