Managing multipath disk devices
Microsoft provides a generic user interface to manage the disk devices that are controlled by MPIO. This
interface, which can be accessed through the Multi-Path Disk Device Properties page, under the MPIO

Device Properties page. HP MPIO EVA DSM supports the management infrastructure of the MPIO tab
for features that are applicable to the HP DSM.

1. Go to Device Manager and select the MPIO managed device identi fi ed by Multi-Path Disk device.
