HBA configuration
• Host 1 is a single path HBA host.
• Host 2 is a multiple HBA host with multipathing software.
See Figure 31.
Risks
• Single path failure may result in loss of data accessibility and loss of host data that has not been
written to storage.
• Controller shutdown results in loss of data accessibility and loss of host data that has not been
written to storage.
NOTE:
For additional risks, see “Sun Solaris” on page 75.
Limitations
