setting tunes the SVSP system behavior when the virtual disk is permitted to multiple
hosts (configured as a resource in a cluster application). For a description of
configuring virtual disks for cluster applications, see “Defining virtual disks as

Host information—Personalities tab
The Personalities tab displays the SCSI personality that was set for the selected host, if applicable.
SCSI personality is only relevant for UDH hosts. The personality defines the way in which the DPM
presents virtual disks (LUNs) to the host. The DPM supports different personalities for different host
operating systems. The combination of operating system–specific multipath software running on the
host and the matching personality enable features such as failover and failback between DPMs.
The personality of a host is defined upon host creation. You can change the personality of a UDH.
For information about changing a UDH’s personality, see
“Changing the UDH operating system or personality” on page 153.
