MSA1000 & Server Failover

[sevi]

I’m looking for some help on setting up failover from an HP DL360 server to a MSA1000 SAN.

We have 2 switches in the MSA1000 and 2 HBA’s in the server with one HBA connected to each switch.

What I want is if one fibre connection is broken (or a HBA or switch to fail) then it to automatically use the other fibre.

I have Secure Path installed on the server, but cant figure out how to configure it. Can anyone help??

I’ve posted this in HP Servers also.

Cheers

sevi,

The only thing you need is the MPIO driver. You'll find that here:

When you install the MPIO Manager you can check which path ist currently connected.

You have to pay attention that you present evenry LUN to both WWN's
