Abstract
A method for selecting a path control module (PCM) for a logical unit number (LUN) associated with a host enabled to support multiple PCMs is provided. The method may include selecting a PCM associated with the LUN from a plurality of supported PCMs. The method may also include creating an entry in a configuration database or a configuration file associated with the host, whereby the entry maps the selected PCM with a unique ID associated with the LUN. The method may further include determining a unique ID associated with a hard disk. The method may include matching the unique ID with the created entry. The method may include selecting the PCM from the matched entry based on the matching. Additionally, the method may include loading a kernel extension corresponding to the selected PCM. The method may include configuring the LUN using the loaded kernel extension corresponding to the selected PCM.
