Hello, * Thomas Glanzmann <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [2017-08-31 14:08]: > When I reboot 12 ESX Servers. the 'standby' alua group switches to > 'active optimized'. I can set it back manually to 'standby' but I > wonder why that happens and what I can do to keep it as standby. the reason was that by default LIO does do explicit ALUA which means that the initiator can request another ALUA state. It is possible to disable explicit ALUA by setting alua_access_type to 1 (Implicit).
