How To: Change Path Selection Policy default ESXi 4.1

I have seen a few people asking questions lately on how you can set the default Path Selection Policy to Round Robin rather than the default Fixed, and thought it might be useful for people out in the field or people wanting to set company standard policies.  Unfortunately there is now way to set this through the GUI.

You will need to either access the console via Tech Support Mode, or by Remote Tech Support Mode (SSH) to carry out this command.

esxcli nmp satp setdefaultpsp –psp VMW_PSP_RR –satp VMW_SATP_SYMM

    “–satp VMW_SATP_SYMM” depends how your storage array is recognized.

    This can be done also via vMA.
    get-esxcli cmdlet (experimental) has been added to the recently released PowerCLI 4.1 u1.
