HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 2-node Manual page 24

To ensure that your HP 3PAR StoreServ 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 HP 3PAR StoreServ 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).
