You can configure HP LTO-5 or LTO-6 FC drives as the control path for a
partition. The drive must not be connected to an FC I/O blade, but it
must be connected to an Ethernet Expansion blade.
Note: The control path drive and control path failover settings are
configured on the same screen. You do not need an SNW
license to configure a drive for control path. However, you do
need an SNW license to configure control path failover (see
Configuring Control Path Failover
The instructions that follow only describe how to configure a drive as
the control path for a partition. If you would like to configure both the
control path and control path failover, see
