Configure Multiple Data Paths for a Storage Policy Copy

Required Capability: See Capabilities and Permitted Actions

To configure multiple data paths for a storage policy copy:

  1. Select the criteria under which a storage policy copy must use an alternate data path, as described in Select the Criteria for using an Alternate Data Path.
  2. Depending on the criteria selected for using an alternate data path, you may have to share the indexes as described in Create Shared Index Cache.
  3. Add the data paths to storage policy copies for which you wish to add multiple data paths, as described in Add a Data Path to a Storage Policy Copy.

The storage policy copy will automatically switch to an alternate data path, when the preferred data path is either offline or busy, as established in the criteria for using an alternate data path.
