Hello together,
I have a problem regarding path policy of LUNs.
With a ESXi5.0 and vCenter 5.0 installation the path policy was set to round robin.
The vCenter is moved to a new server so it was a complete install from scatch.
In the new installation the old 5.0 server are added. I haven't checked the path policy so far.
Then a colleague of mine updated the esxi from 5.0 to 5.1. He that that he has done this with the update manager and a iso image.
If so all changes will remain. So the path policy should be set to round robin.
Yesterday there was a big issue with the connection to the LUNs and I figured out that now it is set to most recently used.
But when did that change?
In my opionion the ESX servers must be installed from scatch because a update manager does not chance any settings.
And the path policy setting is a ESX setting not a vCenter setting.
Is that true? Or has the new install of the vCenter set the path policy to default?
kind regards
Dennis
