In a cached disk subsystem, the write overhead of RAID 5 can be negated.
Hence the reason if a cache battery dies, write through cache mode is
enabled, as cache may not be able to be destaged in the event of a power
failure- this will have a massive effect on write wait time on the host.

Paths go offline due to scsi errors on the line. The drive doesn't
actually report an error so the drive entity stays online.
Paths can go offline for a variety of reasons above and beyond drive
hardware failure.
You can just attempt to put the path back online if it is a temporary
line fault.
Virtual volumes usually exist on another server- so the actual device
class is defined as a device type of server.
Storage pools are then bound to this device class- that exist on the
server defined.
