Multipathing is the use of multiple paths between an initiator and a logical unit for the purpose of load balancing or fault tolerance. See also active/passive array, active/active array, preferred path array.

Where there are multiple physical access paths to a disk connected to a system, the disk is called multipathed. Any software residing on the host, (for example, the DMP driver) that hides this fact from the user is said to provide multipathing functionality.

Multipathing allows for two or more data paths to be simultaneously used for read/write operations, enhancing performance by automatically and equally dispersing data access across all the available paths.

Multipathing is the use of redundant storage network components responsible for transfer of data between the server and storage. These components include cabling, adapters and switches and the software that enables this.
