3.2.2
Failover
When the Multipath Driver detects that an active path has failed, it switches to another path, disables the bad
path, and continues executing the I/O requests. This can prevent the host application from shutting down
unnecessarily.
Failover operates differently depending on the storage system type, as described below.
■
Storage system with CM assigned (2 path connections)
When an active path becomes unavailable, the standby path is activated to continue processing.
