SCSI aliasing
With ASC, you can eliminate a potential point of failure in your storage
network by providing multiple paths to your storage devices using multiple
Fibre Channel switches and/or multiple adapters and/or storage devices with
multiple controllers. In a multiple path configuration, ASC automatically
detects all paths to the storage devices. If one path fails, ASC automatically
switches to another.
If you have multiple paths to your Fibre Channel hardware, you can use the
Alias
feature to select the primary path and the order for using the other
paths. This can be useful for load balancing purposes as well.
Right-click on a physical device and select
Alias
.
The device must be virtualized and you must have rescanned physical devices at
some point to discover the aliases.
Use the up and down arrows to put the devices in the order you want to use
them.
The secondary paths will only be used in the event of a storage path failure.
