• Check the MPIO disk status on the host computer
After the MPIO driver has been installed, you can find the new multi-path disk device(s) (eg. ACS82410 Multi-Path Disk
Device) and the Multi-Path Support displayed in the following screen: Computer Management > Device Manager.
(Right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop > select Manage)
• Use the PathGuard GUI for managing MPIO disks
You can launch the PathGuard GUI by clicking Start > Programs > PathGuard > PathGuard GUI. As PathGuard GUI
allows you to manage multiple hosts running PathGuard MPIO drivers (either the local one or remote ones), you need to
connect and login to a host before monitoring or managing its MPIO. Please follow the steps below:
1. Click the Connect button
2. Choose Localhost or Remote from the Connect Host drop-down menu.
3. If Localhost is selected, you can click the Login button if you are currently using an administrator-level user account
to access the local computer.
4. If is Remote selected, you need to enter the name or the IP address of the remote host in the Host Name box. You
need to also enter the name of an administrator-level user account in that remote host and the corresponding
password. And you can click the Login button to proceed.
5. If the authentication procedure above is done to get the access right, you can see all the MPIO disks on the login
host.
• MPIO Device Information
When logged in, the PathGuard MPIO Utility GUI shows all connected MPIO disks.
