Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for communicating over multiple paths. A reserve interception module intercepts a single-path reserve command from a host. The host-computing environment is configured to issue single-path commands, but is not configured to issue multiple-path commands. A reserve generation module generates a multiple-path reserve command in response to the single-path command. A reserve command module reserves multiple paths between the host and the storage device using the multiple-path command, enabling the host to communicate over multiple paths with the storage device.
