By default, the EVA iopolicy is set to Round-Robin. For VxVM 4.1 MP1, only one path is used for
the I/Os with this policy. Therefore, HP recommends that you change the iopolicy to Adaptive in
order to use all paths to the LUN on the primary controller. Example 2 shows the commands you can
use to check and change the iopolicy.
Example 2. Setting the iopolicy
# vxdmpadm getattr arrayname EVA8000 iopolicy
ENCLR_NAME DEFAULT CURRENT
============================================
EVA80000 Round-Robin Round-Robin
# vxdmpadm setattr arrayname EVA8000 iopolicy=adaptive
# vxdmpadm getattr arrayname EVA8000 iopolicy
ENCLR_NAME DEFAULT CURRENT
