To set volume-specific values for any of these values, add a section to the eql.conf file name [MPIO Volume Params volume-
name] and define the volume-specific parameter settings in this section. Wildcards can be used in volume-name. For example, to increase
the IOPerPath value to 100 for all LogVol* volumes, add the following lines to the eql.conf file:
[MPIO Volume Params LogVol*]
IOPerPath = 100
By default, SuppressPartitions is set to False, which enables you to use partitions on an EqualLogic device. Some software solutions,
such as the XEN server, might not detect volumes correctly if a partitioned device is present. To suppress creating partition devices, set
SuppressPartitions to True, which is similar to the no-partitions option when using Linux native multipath devices. For example, create no
partition devices on LogVol03 when users log in to the volume, add the following line to the eql.conf file:
[MPIO Volume Params LogVol03]
SuppressPartitions = True
