Discovering Multipaths

To discover multipaths that exist in your configuration,

1. Verify that multiple instances actually represent the same Logical Unit Number (LUN)

through different paths. Hardware IDs for those devices are displayed for use with MPIO.

2. Add a second initiator to a volume.

3. With multipathing running, open a disk management tool, such as Windows Disk Manager.

4. View the volume from the initiator and verify that now only one volume shows up. (Before

installing multipathing, the volume would show up twice).
