•
Most Recently Used—ESx server uses the most recent path to the disk until this path becomes
unavailable. Even if the path becomes available, the host does not automatically revert back
to the preferred path.
•
Round Robin (Experimental)—The ESX Server load balances across all available paths. WMware
defines the Round Robin policy as Experimental; Round Robin, therefore, is not a supported
multipathing policy.
NOTE:
HP recommends using Fixed (default) for EVA iSCSI connectivity.
