Convert from PowerPath to VMWare Round-Robin
I would like to start using VMWare's round robin-load balancing instead of PowerPath. Do I need to do anything on the Unity array to support this load balancing method? I'm thinking something may need to be changed on the initiators, like Fail-over mode. See attached pic.

Hello DanPJ,
Here is a link to EMC Unity, VNXe: How To Configure Unity/VNXe With ESX for best performance. https://dell.to/420KoQa
You will need to make sure that you disable or uninstall powerpath, you shouldn’t have to make any changes to the initiators. It is best to put the host in the pool into maintenance mode, prior to making the changes, so that when all host when they are online they will have the changes applied.
