To install the Equallogic Multi Pathing Module
SCP the zipped vib to a location accessible by your vHost.
dell-eql-mem-esx5-1.2.0.365964.zip to vHost01
Then SSH to the vHost and run the following command, editing for your location
~ # esxcli software vib install –depot /vmfs/volumes/*****/dell-eql-mem-esx5-1.2.0.365964.zip
You’ll see the result similar to below (from an older version installed)

~ # esxcli equallogic param set -n=VolumeSessions -v=12
~ # esxcli equallogic param set -n=MemberSessions -v=4
run those two esxcli statements on ssh.
your member sessions are probably 2 and the volume sessions are probably 4 or 6
