designated as active. The stand-by paths will be

tried on a round-robin approach upon failure of

all active paths.

Least Queue Depth—The least queue depth policy

compensates for uneven loads by distributing

propeortiaonately more I/O requests to lightly

loaded processing paths.

Weighted Paths—The weighted paths policy allows the

user to specify the relative processing load of

each path. A large number means that the path

priority is low.
