Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series and Citrix XenServer | H18237
XenServer supports Active/Active multipathing for iSCSI and FC protocols for I/O data paths. Dynamic
multipathing uses a round-robin mode load balancing algorithm resulting in active traffic on all paths during
normal operation. Multipathing can be enabled using XenCenter or the command line interface. Enabling
multipathing requires a restart of the XenServer host and should be enabled before storage is added to the
server. Only use multipathing when there are multiple paths to the storage.

1.

2.
Right-click the server and select Properties.
3.

Note: Additional information on multipathing with XenServer hosts can be found in the Citrix XenServer 7.6
Administrator’s Guide, which is available on the Citrix Product Documentation
website.
