  1. Get the enclosure name from the following output:
    
    $ vxdmpadm listenclosure
    ENCLR_NAME         ENCLR_TYPE     ENCLR_SNO        STATUS    ARRAY_TYPE LUN_COUNT FIRMWARE
    ==================================================<wbr/>=================================================
    purestorage2       PureStorage    1B0C13A9BEB81429 CONNECTED A/A        150       343
  2. Set the IO policy to round-robin for your enclosure:
    
    $ vxdmpadm setattr enclosure purestorage2 iopolicy=round-robin
  3. Verify the setting with the "getattr" command:
    
    $ vxdmpadm getattr enclosure purestorage2
    ENCLR_NAME      ATTR_NAME        DEFAULT        CURRENT
    ==================================================<wbr/>===========
    purestorage2    iopolicy         MinimumQ       Round-Robin
  4. You can verify your device information & the number of paths with the following command:
    
    $ vxdmpadm list dmpnode
    dmpdev = purestorage2_00011435
    state = enabled
    enclosure = purestorage2
