Hi Experts,
what is the Canonical path and what is the difference between the Path and canioncal path in the FC storage?
thanks
If I remember correctly, the canonical path is the first path that ESX finds to a LUN. Normally this will be the first HBA and the lowest number SP.
Path could be any available path that ESX has been or could be configured to use to access the named LUN.
The canonical name never changes, even if you configure a different path as the active/preferrred/etc. path to that LUN.
I hope that helps!
