HP Secure Path

www.hp.com/go/securepath

Multi-pathing software for Windows, Linux, NetWare, and HP-UX

(active/passive environments only)

Used in multi-pathing environments running active/passive array

controller firmware, Secure Path manages, monitors, and maintains

data paths between server and storage. If a path failure is

detected, traffic fails over to an alternative path.

Special Secure Path versions are available for MSA1000-only and

MSA1500-only environments. If your SAN environment includes

only MSA controllers running active/passive firmware versions 4.x

or 5.x, consider using a “Workgroup Edition” of Secure Path.

HP MPIO Full Featured Failover

and Manager

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/

products/sanworks/

multipathoptions/index.html

Multi-pathing software for Windows

(active/active environments

only)

Used in multi-pathing environments running active/active array

controller firmware, HP MPIO Full Featured Failover and Manager

manages, monitors, and maintains data paths between server and

storage. If a path failure is detected, traffic fails over to an

alternative path.

Other multipath software already present on the host may not be

compatible with HP Full Featured MPIO. See the MSA1500

compatibility guide for details.

The HP full-featured MPIO is provided on the MSA Support

Software CD.
