Test MPIO
IfthenetworkenvironmentandserversareconfiguredforMPIO,performteststomake
surethatfailedpathsdonotinterruptIO.
1 Create aTestfolderontheserverandcopyatleast2GBofdataintoit.
2 MakesurethattheFCoriSCSIserverisconfiguredtouseload
balancingMPIO(round‐
robin).
3 ManuallydisconnectapathwhilecopyingdatatoTestVol1toverifythatMPIOis
functioningcorrectly.
a CopytheTestfoldertotheTestVol1volume.
b Duringthecopyprocess,disconnectoneofthepathsandverifythatthecopy
processcontinues.
c Reconnecttheport.
4 RepeatStep 3as
necessarytotestadditionalpaths.

whileIOisbeingtransferred.
6 If theStorageCenterisnotinaproductionenvironment,restarttheswitchthatcontains
