System Preparation

Overview

Smart Array Multipath software delivers dual path functionality and supports failover

capability for redundant host bus adapters (HBAs) in a server with redundant cabling

to an HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 500 system. This fault-tolerant tool

enhances availability in clustering and direct attached storage (DAS) solutions with

up to two servers managing up to 2 TB of stored data.

The software supports multiple I/O paths to the same logical volumes. When a path

fails, the software moves the logical drives from the failed path to the path of the

redundant HBA in the same server.

Smart Array Multipath software works differently with Microsoft and Linux products

to provide specific features that are compatible with operating system functionality.

Minimum Requirements

Be sure that your solution consists of the following hardware:

• At least one server with two supported HBAs (Smart Array 5i, 5i+, or 532

controllers) with updated firmware

• A supported operating system installed on the server or MSA500 system
