Changing datastore path policy

Hi,

I'm looking to change my path policy of my datastores to round robin.  Can this be changed at any time without issue or should I wait till a period of very low I/O traffic?

Thanks

Thanks.  I just realised one of my hosts was not quite configured correctly for iscsi port binding and both adapters in the network configuration are set as "active".  Should I shut down all vm guests before setting an adapter to "unused" to allow for iscsi port binding?
It would be better to ensure, and avoid corruption, that VMs are migrated off those datastores or shutdown.

I would recommend, like all changes to production equipment, that this change be conducted outside of core hours, at a quite time, just case any disruption to service is caused.
