HP 3PAR Multipath IO Software for IBM AIX -
Overview & Features

Overview

HP 3PAR MPIO Software for IBM AIX delivers a highly available, robust, and trouble-free multi-pathing solution for IBM AIX deployments. With MPIO for IBM AIX, I/O is intelligently routed through multiple paths between a host server and the HP 3PAR Storage System for greater availability and load balancing. This solution is designed to utilize all available paths to prevent overloading of any single path and the accumulation of I/O bottlenecks. MPIO for IBM AIX accomplishes this through a combination of autonomic load balancing, path failover capabilities, and ease of management. In the event of a path failure, MPIO for IBM AIX routes data to an alternate path to prevent application disruption. Simple administration and affordability make MPIO for AIX an ideal solution for enhancing performance and reliability in IBM AIX environments.
