Looking through the /etc/init.d/multipathd script in reload section, we see the following code: reload() { The reload process sends a HUP signal to the multipathd daemon, which causes it to re-read the configuration file. Device-mapper-multipath functions without the multipathd daemon running, however without multipathd, path failures will not be detected or handled.

VMware ESXi is responsible for managing the multi-pathing. However installing the DSM inside the Windows guest will not harm anything either. pRDM: Allow the guest operating system to access the hardware directly. vRDM: Allow the virtual machine to use VMware snapshots and other advanced technology.
