LUN basis, as well as the preferred path is chosen for each LUN. If ESX/ESXi Server is
connected over four paths to its DS8000 storage, we suggest that you spread the preferred
paths over all four available physical paths.
For example, when you want to configure four LUNs, assign the preferred path of LUN0
through the first path, the one for LUN1 through the second path, the preferred path for LUN2
through the third path, and the one for LUN3 through the fourth path. With this method, you
can spread the throughput over all physical paths in the SAN fabric. Thus, this method results
in optimized perf ...
