Adding devices on MPIO

To add or remove devices on MPIO:

Steps

1. In Server Manager, click Tools > MPIO.

The MPIO Properties window is displayed.

2. In the MPIO Devices tab, click Add, enter the Device hardware ID of the device you want to add MPIO support for, and

then click OK.

3. The device hardware IDs are listed in the Discover Multi-Paths tab.

NOTE: A device hardware ID is a combination of vendor’s name and a product string that matches the device ID that is

maintained by MPIO in its supported device list. The vendor and product IDs are provided by the storage provider, and

they are specific to each type of hardware.

4. In the DSM Install tab, type the DSM INF file and click Install or uninstall to install or Uninstall a DSM.

5. In the Configuration Snapshot tab, capture the snapshot of the current MPIO configuration on the system, specify a

filename for the information to be captured, and then click Capture.
