User's Manual

• Single path HBA server cannot share LUNs with any other HBAs.
• In the use of snapshots and snapclones, the source virtual disk and all associated snapshots
and snapclones must be presented to the single path hosts that are zoned with the same
controller. In the case of snapclones, after the cloning process has completed and the clone
becomes an ordinary virtual disk, you may present that virtual disk as you would any other
ordinary virtual disk.
• HBA must be properly configured to work in a single HBA server configuration. The user is
required to:
◦ Download and extract the contents of the TAR file.
HBA configuration
• Host 1 is a single path HBA host.
• Host 2 is a multiple HBA host with multipathing software.
See Figure 32 (page 84).
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 “Oracle Solaris” (page 93).
Limitations
• HP P6000 Continuous Access is not supported with single path configurations.
• Single path HBA server is not part of a cluster.
• Booting from the SAN is not supported.
