5.11.6 Set FC path priority
Function
Sets the PC path to a specified data store of VMware vSphere ESXi (or VMware ESX Server) to Preferred.
This plugin assumes the following servers:
• vCenter server
This is a server on which VMware vCenter Server is installed.
• ESX server
This is a server on which VMware vSphere ESXi (or VMware ESX Server) is installed.
• vCenter control server (Execution target server)
This is a server on which VMware vSphere PowerCLI is installed. The plugin is transferred from JP1/AO to this server and then is executed.
Use situation
If SAN in VMware vSphere ESXi (or VMware ESX Server) has a multi-path configuration, you use this plugin to specify the FC path priority for a data store's LU.
