configurations
Requirements
• Switch zoning or controller level SSP must be used to ensure each single path HBA has an
exclusive path to its LUNs.
• Single path HBA server can be in the same fabric as servers with multiple HBAs.
• Single path HBA server cannot share LUNs with any other HBAs.
HBA configuration
• Hosts 1 and 2 are single path HBA hosts.
• Host 3 is a multiple HBA host with multipathing software.
See Figure 31 (page 82).
NOTE: Single path HBA servers running the Windows Server 2003 (x64) or Microsoft Windows
Server 2008 (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.
