One of my goals for 2014 is to gain a better understanding of how things really work in VMware. <br />
&nbsp;<br />
Today's question, path selection policies and Claim Rules. Am I correct when I state the following..<br />
<br />
A Claim rules specifics that a specific disk type should default / always be associated with a specific PSP correct?<br />
<br />
Also, why would anyone want to specific a PSP on a disk instead of at the volume level..<br />
<br />
Thanks Again

ESXi 5.1 Path Selection Claim Rules

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
