Enabling/disabling automatic path switching
NOTE:
This command is available only with active/active firmware (v6.x or later).
If implicit path changes are enabled, controller firmware will automatically determine and, as needed,
switch controller paths for units based on host request load, according to the specified preferences.
Basic command
set auto_path_change
Command options
enable|disable
