Specifies a path as preferred, and optionally assigns a priority number to it. If specified, the priority number must be an integer that is greater than or equal to one. Higher priority numbers indicate that a path is able to carry a greater I/O load.
Note: |
Setting a priority for path does not change the I/O policy. The I/O policy must be set independently. |
This example first sets the I/O policy to priority for an Active/Active disk array, and then specifies a preferred path with an assigned priority of 2:
# vxdmpadm setattr enclosure enc0 \
iopolicy=priority
# vxdmpadm setattr path hdisk16 pathtype=preferred \
priority=2
