Hello,
How can i know if my vsphere 5.0 has multipathing capability , is there thirdparty or module in esxi?, i am sorry if my question silly
Thanks
If you refer to the ESXi server, they have multipathing by default, integrated.

Take a look at theis KB article. It outlines all of the native multipathing options in VMware. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=101134... I believe EMC is the only vendor with a vendor based mutlipathing option for VMware, but I could be wrong.

DELL also has one for their EQL arrays. More info here - http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2011/11/dells-multipath-extension-module-for-equallogic-now-supports...

Thanks for the update CHogan!
True, however Dell's doesn't allow for multiple outstanding IO on multiple paths like PowerPath. Its multipath, not load balancing.
