Use Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) to provide end-to-end storage visibility across both the KVM host and guest virtual machine. Using DMP in the KVM guest virtualized machine provides:
Multi-pathing functionality for the operating system devices configured in the guest
DMP metadevices (also known as DMP nodes) to represent all the device paths to the same physical LUN
Support for enclosure-based naming
Support for standard array types
Using DMP in the KVM host enables:
Centralized multi-pathing functionality
Enables active/passive array high performance failover
Centralized storage path management
Fast proactive failover
Event notification
For more information on DMP features, see the Dynamic Multi-Pathing Administrator's Guide.
