When coordinating the VMware NMP and any installed third-party MPPs, the PSA performs the following tasks:
■
Loads and unloads multipathing plug-ins.
■
Hides virtual machine specifics from a particular plug-in.
■
Routes I/O requests for a specific logical device to the MPP managing that device.
■
Handles I/O queueing to the logical devices.
■
Implements logical device bandwidth sharing between virtual machines.
■
Handles I/O queueing to the physical storage HBAs.
■
Handles physical path discovery and removal.
■
Provides logical device and physical path I/O statistics.
