Hi,
I've got a problem with my MPIO settings, for some reason data transmissons between servers and storage only use one out of two paths.
Win2012R2
MPIO installed
MPIO feature configured
storage supports MPIO
LB Policy: RRWS

If I disabled the path marked as "active/optimized", then the other path "active/unoptimized" will take over....but wehn both are enabled, only the "active/optimized" path is used.
How can I change the path setting of the "active/unoptimized" to "active/optimized"? I've alreday tried to change it via disk management->properties->mpio, but wehn I want to apply the settings I get an error message:
