The paths grouping policy is controlled by the "path_grouping_policy" keyword, multibus vs. group_by_prio. See man page. Persona 1 and 2 basically is the same, but: Persona 1: path_grouping_policy = multibus failback = manual prio = const Persona 2: path_grouping_policy = group_by_prio failback = immediate prio = alua (this is irrelevant, alua-prio is autodetected) hardware_handler= "1 alua" (this is irrelevant, all hardware handlers are autodetected) With 3PAR-OS 3.1.3, or later, you should use "Persona 2" -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
