This procedure allows the compute node to recognize whether the ALUA is enabled (specified on the storage side).

No procedure is available for allowing the compute node to recognize an ALUA priority change set on the storage side. ALUA priority changes are recognized automatically.

Note on the procedure

In the following procedure, long command lines begin on a new line delimited by "\".

Verify that a dedicated SATP has not been created yet.
If the following command outputs nothing, you can judge that an SATP has not been created. If an SATP has already been created, you do not need to perform the following steps.
```
# esxcli storage nmp satp rule list | grep Hi-SDS
```

Create a dedicated SATP.

# esxcli storage nmp satp rule add -V HITACHI -M "^Hi-SDS*" \
-s VMW_SATP_ALUA -c tpgs_on --psp="VMW_PSP_RR"

Reboot the compute node to allow the setting to be recognized.
