Host System Requirements
Depending on your system configuration, host operating systems may require that multipathing is
supported.
If fault tolerance is required, then multipathing software may be required. Host-based multipath software
should be used in any configuration where two logical paths between the host and any storage volume may
exist at the same time. This would include most configurations where there are multiple connections to the
host or multiple connections between a switch and the storage.
Use native Microsoft MPIO DSM support with Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012. Use either
the Server Manager or the command-line interface (mpclaim CLI tool) to perform the installation.
