NAME

MP_SetLogicalUnitLoadBalanceType - set a load balancing policy

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lMPAPI [ library... ]
#include <mpapi.h>
MP_STATUS MP_SetLogicalUnitLoadBalanceType(MP_OID logicalUnitOid,


     MP_LOAD_BALANCE_TYPE  loadBalance);

PARAMETERS

logicalUnitOid

The object ID of the multipath logical unit.

loadBalance

The desired load balance policy for the specified logical unit.

DESCRIPTION

The MP_SetLogicalUnitLoadBalanceType() function sets the multipath logical unit's load balancing policy. The value must correspond to one of the supported values in MP_PLUGIN_PROPERTIES.SupportedLogicalUnitLoadBalanceTypes.

RETURN VALUES

MP_STATUS_INVALID_OBJECT_TYPE

The logicalUnitOid does not specify any valid object type. This is most likely to happen if an uninitialized object ID is passed to the API.

MP_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER

The loadBalance is invalid or logicalUnitOid has a type subfield other than MP_OBJECT_TYPE_MULTIPATH_LU.

MP_STATUS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND

The logicalUnitOid owner ID or object sequence number is invalid.

MP_STATUS_SUCCESS

The operation is successful.

MP_STATUS_FAILED

The specified loadBalance type cannot be handled by the plugin. One possible reason for this is a request to set MP_LOAD_BALANCE_TYPE_PRODUCT when the specified logical unit has no corresponding MP_DEVICE_PRODUCT_PROPERTIES instance (i.e., the plugin does not have a product-specific load balance algorithm for the LU product).

MP_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED

The implementation does not support the API.
