The heads of EMC VPLEX are accessed in the same priority, how can a group by priority be defined for it in multipath
Issue
- EMC VPLEX is used to mirror SAN based storage.
- Both heads of the VPLEX are accessed in the same priority while the requirement is that the local one should be preferred
- The path priority is as below:
# multipath -ll /dev/sdbf
FRVPLEX_DGDATA_INT1_805 (36000144000000010e06d8f12ec30dd4b) dm-11 EMC,Invista

- The priorities of the two different parts of the VPLEX are equal, where they should not be.
|------ SAN1 ---- VPLEX DC1 ---- LUN1-DC1
Host ===| |
|------ SAN2 ---- VPLEX DC2 ---- LUN1-DC2
