Chapter 3    Functions of NEC Storage PathManager 
 The following image shows an example when the -avail option  is used. 
C:\>spscmd -getlun 
*** LogicalUnit #0 *** 
 @  0: Priority=2, PathNumber=4:0:0:0 
>   1: Priority=1, PathNumber=5:0:1:0 
C:\>spscmd -avail 4:0:0:0 
C:\>spscmd -getlun 
*** LogicalUnit #0 *** 
>   0: Priority=2, PathNumber=4:0:0:0 
  1: Priority=1, PathNumber=5:0:1:0

Use the -path option of the spscmd to change the path to be used.  The -path option assigns a specified path 
as a path to be used by enabling the priority of the specified path and by switching the priorities of the 
specified path and the currently used path.  Note that the priorities will not be switched if the specified path 
becomes the path to be used only by enabling its priority.  The priority of the path specified by the -path 
option will become enabled even if the priority of the currently used path is disabled, meaning that there is no 
path with enabled priority.   The -path option cannot specify failed paths. 
      As seen below, use a path number (PathNumber) displayed in the -getlun opti on to specify a path. 
C:\>spscmd -getlun
