This object reports the preferred controller path for this logical disk as this(1), other(2), or none(3), a setting only meaningful when dual redundant controllers operate in a multiple-bus failover configuration. It tells an admin which controller normally serves I/O for this LUN under normal conditions, informing which controller's failure would trigger a path switch. An admin balancing load across two controllers would deliberately set logical disks' preferred paths to spread I/O evenly.
