6 Secure Path v2.0D Service Pack 2 for IBM AIX Release Notes
Secure Path operational features
Hardware prerequisites for Secure Path
Two paths must exist between each server and storage system. Each path must
include a separate:
■ Fibre Channel (SAN) Switch
■ HSG80, HSV100, or HSV110 Controller
■ Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
Note the following:
■ On systems that support multiple I/O boards, we recommend that each host
bus adapter be installed on separate I/O boards to eliminate the I/O board as a
single point of failure.
■ Secure Path 2.0D for IBM AIX Service Pack 2 supports a maximum of 4
RAID systems per adapter pair and 8 adapter pairs per server. The maximum
number of supported LUNs is 992 or 1024 per AIX server, depending on the
SCSI mode.
■ The RAID storage system must be configured for Fibre Channel Fabric
connectivity in Multiple-bus Failover Mode.
