When you configure multipathing on your hosts, you must
consider the maximum supported configuration limits.
Configuration maximums for hosts that run the Microsoft Hyper-V operating system provides the configuration
maximums for hosts that run the Microsoft Hyper-V
operating system.
Note: Check your operating system and HBA documentation for limitations that might
be imposed by other driver software.
Table 1. Configuration maximums for hosts that run the Microsoft Hyper-V operating system| Object |
Maximum |
Description |
|---|
| Volume |
5121 |
The maximum number of volumes that can be supported by the system for
a host that is running the Microsoft Hyper-V operating
system (per host object). |
| Paths per volume2 |
8 |
The maximum number of paths to each volume. The suggested number of
paths is four. |
Notes: - You can assign a maximum of 26 individual drive letters to a host that runs a Windows operating system. However, Windows Server 2008 supports submounting drives as directories within other drives.
- SDDDSM for Windows supports 16 paths per
volume, but the
system supports only a maximum of eight paths to support a reasonable path-failover time.
