• In VSS Hardware Provider, if any XP or P9000 volumes are imported, they will be imported into ALL of the XP or P9000 Host Groups that contain a WWN of an HBA configured in the server. This could be an issue if you use HBAs from different vendors, since the different vendor HBAs may have different driver parameters. NOTE: This may cause a failure if the multipath software tries to failover I/O from one vendor type HBA to another vendor type HBA.
