Network Configuration for Multipath I/O
Multipath I/O (MPIO) is a fault-tolerance technique where more than one physical network path is created

of a switch, cable, or network card, the server can route I/O through the remaining network paths with no
storage downtime. Deploying multipath I/O achieves higher availability.
The following diagrams are examples of how the multipath I/O should be implemented:
