MAC OS X supports multipathing I/O since OS X 10.3.5. An identical World
Wide Node Name (WWNN) of the RAID controller is required to MAC operating
system for enabling multi-path I/O. Below steps are required to enable
multipathing I/O for MAC OS X:
6.6.1 Complete Volume Set configurations and
hardware setup
Create a single volume (eg. “AXS-8666-VOL#000”). Connect Fibre cables to
the host server machine.
6.6.2 Reboot the host server computer
With MAC OS X built-in MPIO, only a single device would appear in the
operating system.
