Data Object Description

The HostMultipathInfoPath data object is a storage entity that represents a topological path from a host bus adapter to a SCSI logical unit. Each path is unique although each host bus adapter/SCSI logical unit pair can have multiple paths.

Path objects are identified by a key. The specifics of how the key is formatted are dependent on the implementation. Example implementations include using strings like "vmhba1:0:0:0".
