HBA configuration • Host 1 is a single path HBA. • Host 2 is a dual HBA host with multi-pathing software. See Figure 37 (page 123). Risks • Single path failure may result in data loss or disk corruption. NOTE: For additional risks, see "Linux failure scenarios" (page 129). 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 supported on single path HBA servers.
