EMC PowerPath multipathing and failover on ESX 4.0 with CLARiiON

EMC PowerPath software is supported on the ESX 4.0 server and is installed using RemoteCLI.

RemoteCLI is a software package available for remotely managing the ESX server. PowerPath can co-exist

with VMware’s native failover such that some LUNs can be controlled by PowerPath on one array while

some LUNs from a different array are under the control of VMware’s NMP software. PowerPath is

supported in FC and iSCSI (software and hardware initiators) configurations. Some of the benefits of using

PowerPath with ESX 4.0 are as follows:

• PowerPath on ESX 4.0 is supported with all CLARiiON CX-series arrays configured with

failovermode=4 (ALUA mode or Asymmetric Active/Active mode).

• PowerPath has an intuitive CLI that provides an end-to-end view and reporting of the host storage

resources including HBAs all way to the storage system.

• PowerPath eliminates the need to manually change the load-balancing policy on a per-device basis.

• PowerPath's auto-restore capability automatically restores LUNs to default SPs when an SP recovers,

ensuring balanced load and performance.

Figure 10 depicts the CLARiiON LUNs controlled by EMC PowerPath software.
