Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager Software Users Guide for Windows (7.6)

For details about the cluster software supported by HDLM, see Table 3-5
Supported Cluster Software on page 3-7 in Cluster Software Supported by
HDLM on page 3-6.
When load balancing is used by cluster software supported by HDLM, HDLM
uses an active host path to access an LU.
For example, in
Figure 2-18 Path Switching in a Cluster Configuration on page
2-47, when HDLM uses a path (A) from the active host to access a device
within the LU, if the path is placed offline, HDLM switches to another path (B)
to continue processing.
The trigger for switching nodes is dependent on the cluster software.
