Characteristic1(device information). LUN assigned to the path with the highest priority is
displayed.

Path Mode and Load Balance Mode. Load Balance Mode is set to Disable by default. Three
Path Mode settings are available:
1.

Normal Round-robin (For Multi Path)

2.

Extended Round-robin (For Multi Path)

3.

Disable (For Single Path and ALUA)

By default, Load Balance Mode is set to Disable for the generic Ext Stor profile. As a result,
Ext Stor uses Single Mode (Active/Passive). If the attached external storage supports Multi
pathing (Active/Active), the Load Balance Mode setting must be changed to Extended
Round-robin or Normal Round-robin.

The Load Balance Mode can be changed in the Add External Volumes window of Remote Web
Console.

NOTE:

If you need a profile that models your specific storage system, please contact the HP

Technical Support. HP will gather the required information and may provide the requested profile
in a microcode update. Upgrading to the new microcode will allow the External Storage to display
the vendor name, product name, serial number, and path mode of the external volumes.
