Limitations of SFW support for DMP

The limitations of SFW support for DMP are as follows.

Load balancing policies of third-party MPIO DSMs are not supported in SFW

Load balancing policies and path settings of third-party MPIO DSMs are not supported in SFW. This is because third-party MPIO DSMs may not implement a common method in the Microsoft MPIO framework for getting or setting load balancing policies. (820077)

Disconnected paths may not be reflected in VEA GUI with MPIO DSMs installed

Disconnecting paths from a host using MPIO DSMs may not be reflected in the VEA GUI. The VEA GUI is not automatically updated because of a communication problem between SFW and WMI. (326603)

Workaround: Perform a rescan operation to allow SFW to obtain information about the disconnected paths.
