• Use the PathGuard GUI for managing MPIO disks
You can launch the PathGuard GUI by clicking Start > Programs >
PathGuard > PathGuard GUI. As PathGuard GUI allows you to manage
multiple hosts running PathGuard MPIO drivers (either the local one or
remote ones), you need to connect and login to a host before monitoring
or managing its MPIO. Please follow the steps below:
1. Click the Connect button
2. Choose Localhost or Remote from the Connect Host drop-down menu.
3. If Localhost is selected, you can click the Login button if you are
currently using an administrator-level user account to access the local
computer.
4. If is Remote selected, you need to enter the name or the IP address of
the remote host in the Host Name box. You need to also enter the
name of an administrator-level user account in that remote host and
the corresponding password. And you can click the Login button to
proceed.
5. If the authentication procedure above is done to get the access right,
you can see all the MPIO disks on the login host.
