I am on 6.7 and I have set the policy for four hosts to round robin as the default policy. When I added these hosts to my environment, the storage path selection was set to Fixed. I attempted to reboot the hosts but the Fixed state stayed the same. I can enter in the device path selection command and manually change it to "RR' but as default i thought any storage added would automatically switch.. Does anyone know why this happens?
