By default, the EVA I/O policy 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 I/O policy to
Adaptive

in order to use all paths to the LUN on the primary controller.

Example 4 “Setting the

iopolicy”

shows the commands you can use to check and change the I/O policy.
