3 Host 2 4 Management server 7 Controller A 8 Controller B Windows Server (64-bit) configuration Requirements • Switch zoning or controller level SSP must be used to ensure each single path HBA has an exclusive path to its LUNs. • Single path HBA server can be in the same fabric as servers with multiple HBAs. • Single path HBA server cannot share LUNs with any other HBAs. HBA configuration • Hosts 1 and 2 are single path HBA hosts. • Host 3 is a multiple HBA host with multi-pathing software. See Figure 52 (page 156). NOTE: Single path HBA servers running the Windows Server 2003 (x64) operating system will support multiple single path HBAs in the same server. This is accomplished through a combination of switch zoning and controller level SSP. Any single path HBA server will support up to four single path HBAs. Risks • Single path failure will result in loss of connection with the storage system. • Single path failure may cause the server to reboot. • Controller shutdown puts controller in a failed state that results in loss of data accessibility and loss of host data that has not been written to storage. NOTE: For additional risks, see Table 58 (page 164). Limitations • HP Continuous Access EVA is not supported with single path configurations. • Single path HBA server is not part of a cluster. • Booting from the SAN is not supported on single path HBA servers. Supported configurations 155
