To ensure that your storage system remains available if a path fails, connect the host system to the
HP 3PAR storage system using multiple paths.
Before using SmartStart to configure Fibre Channel connections, do one of the following:
•
If you are connecting the host and storage systems directly, verify that the appropriate cabling
is in place between the host system and the HP 3PAR storage system.
•
If you are using a SAN:
Verify that the appropriate cabling is in place between the host system and the fabric
and between the HP 3PAR storage system and the fabric.
◦
◦
Verify that the fabric zones comply with the zoning guidelines in the HP 3PAR Windows
Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 Implementation Guide (see Setting Up and
Zoning the Fabric).
