Can I use ALUA mode in the Unity?

If I want to use ALUA mode in the Unity how can I set that?

It was a little confused because when I searched the ALUA mode almost documents were VNX and CX.


But I found an attribute in the Unisphere Manager  "Asymmetric Active/Active" Mode.


Access> Hosts> Host name > Host name Properties > Initiators >Initiator 'sDetail information> advanced link >Failover Mode.


It's Resolved.

Yes, Unity supports ALUA (Asymmetric Logical Unit Access) and it’s recommended for proper path management, especially in multi-controller environments. I’ve used it with both VMware and Windows hosts—just make sure the host profile is set correctly in Unisphere and your multipathing policy aligns (e.g., Round Robin for ESXi). It really helps with failover handling and balancing I/O across controllers.
