Setting up LUN on HP StorageWorks arrays and zoning on Fibre Channel switches NOTE: All supported OSs must be zoned to only have a single path to the target LUN during an OS install. After installation, a multi-path driver (MPIO, SecurePath, etc.) must be installed before multiple paths are presented to the host. This is true for any SAN and any switch vendor. If the OS is not single-path during the install, the OS returns various errors. In boot from SAN configurations, the boot paths must be on the active path to the boot logical unit number (LUN) and switch zoning must be set up unless directly connected to the array.
