What will be an ideal response?


Dynamic Least Queue Depth-Tracks current traffic on all paths and transmits the newest traffic to the least busy path.

Failback-Sends current traffic to disks on a path that is preselected as the main path to use. If that path is down, an alternate path is used.

Failover-Uses a main path and secondary paths. The main path is used unless it is down. Next, the secondary path marked with the highest priority is used, and so on. All secondary paths are ranked in terms of priority.

Round Robin-Each functional path is used in a round-robin order, such as path 1 first, path 2 next, and so on.

Round Robin with a subset of paths-Sets of primary paths and secondary paths are established. Each primary path is used in round-robin order. If all of the primary paths are down, then the secondary paths are used in round-robin order.

Weighted Path-Each path is given a priority. For example, if there are five paths, then the path to use first is designated as 1, and the path weighted as 2 is used next in priority if the path weighted as 1 is down. If the paths weighted as 1, 2, and 3 are down, then the path weighted as 4 is used, and so on.
