HostMultipathInfoPath
The HostMultipathInfoPath data object is a storage entity that represents a topological path from a host bus adapter to a SCSI logical unit.
Each path is unique although each host bus adapter/SCSI logical unit pair can have multiple paths.
Path objects are identified by a key. The specifics of how the key is formatted are dependent on the implementation. Example implementations include using strings like "vmhba1:0:0:0".

Identifier of the path.
Name of path.
Use this name to configure LogicalUnit multipathing policy using EnableMultipathPath and DisableMultipathPath.
Deprecated as of VI API 4.0:
- System reported path states are available in state.
- Paths slated for I/O can be found using isWorkingPath.
State of the path.
Must be one of the values of MultipathStateEnum
- active
- Path can be used for I/O and is currently a working path.
- standby
- Path can be used for I/O but is not a working path or can be used if active paths fail.
- disabled
- Path has been administratively disabled.
- dead
- Path cannot be used for I/O.
- unknown
- Path is in unknown error state.
System-reported state of the path.
Must be one of the values of MultipathStateEnum
- active
- Path can be used for I/O.
- standby
- Path can be used for I/O if active paths fail.
- disabled
- Path has been administratively disabled.
- dead
- Path cannot be used for I/O.
- unknown
- Path is in unknown error state.
A path, managed by a given path selection policy(psp) plugin, is denoted to be a Working Path if the psp plugin is likely to select the path for performing I/O in the near future.
This data object type describes the bus adapter for the host.
A host bus adapter (HBA) is a hardware or software adapter that connects the host to storage devices.
The HostMultipathInfoLogicalUnit data object represents a storage entity that provides disk blocks to a host.
