NOTE:
Single path HBA servers running the Windows Server 2003 (x64) operating system will support
multiple single path HBAs in the same server. This is accomplished through a combination of switch
zoning and controller level SSP. Any single path HBA server will support up to four single path HBAs.
Risks
•
Single path failure will result in loss of connection with the storage system.
•
Single path failure may cause the server to reboot.
•
Controller shutdown puts controller in a failed state that results in loss of data accessibility and
loss of host data that has not been written to storage.
NOTE:
For additional risks, see
Table 28
on page 124.
Limitations
•
HP Continuous Access EVA is not supported with single path configurations.
•
Single path HBA server is not part of a cluster.
•
Booting from the SAN is not supported on single path HBA servers.
