Managing multipath disk devices
Microsoft provides a generic user interface to manage the disk devices that are controlled by MPIO.
This interface, which can be accessed through the Multi-Path Disk Device Properties page, under the
MPIO tab, enables you to perform basic disk and path management. Figure 4 shows the Multi-Path
Disk Device Properties page. HP MPIO EVA DSM supports the management infrastructure of the MPIO
tab for features that are applicable to the HP DSM.
To manage the Multi-Path Disk Device through this interface, complete the following steps:
1. Go to Device Manager and select the MPIO managed device identified by Multi-Path Disk device.
2. Right-click and select Properties. The Multi-Path Disk Device Properties page displays.
