HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 SmartStart 1.2 User's Guide (QL226-96854, June 2013)

To ensure that your HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system remains available if a path fails, connect
the host system to the HP 3PAR storage system using multiple paths.
Before using SmartStart to configure Fibre Channel connections, do one of the following:
• If you are connecting the host and HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems directly, verify that the
appropriate cabling is in place between the host system and the HP 3PAR storage system.
• If you are using a SAN:
Verify that the appropriate cabling is in place between the host system and the fabric
and between the HP 3PAR storage system and the fabric.
◦
◦ Verify that the fabric zones comply with the zoning guidelines in the HP 3PAR Windows
Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 Implementation Guide (see Setting Up and
Zoning the Fabric).
