controller. In the case of snapclones, after the cloning process has completed and the clone
becomes an ordinary virtual disk, you may present that virtual disk as you would any other
ordinary virtual disk.
• Linux 64-bit servers can support up to 14 single or dual path HBAs per server. Switch zoning
and SSP are required to isolate the LUNs presented to each HBA from each other.
HBA configuration
• Host 1 is a single path HBA.
• Host 2 is a dual HBA host with multipathing software.
See Figure 69 (page 144).
Risks
• Single path failure may result in data loss or disk corruption.
NOTE: For additional risks, see “Linux” (page 149).
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.
