CAUTION
To ensure the complete redundancy of the SAN, you are recommended to use two switches
in the networking and configure two NICs or two FC HBAs on the ASs.
The two NICs or two FC HBAs installed on the same AS must be of the same model.
CAUTION
When the ASs are installed with the UltraPath, you need to disable the multiPath of the FC
HBA if the multipath function is configured on the FC HBA. Otherwise, compatibility
problems might occur.
If you use the Qlogic FC HBA, you need to insert the optical fiber in the original host port
after removing or replacing the optical fiber. Otherwise, the displayed results that you query
with the UpTools in the UltraPath might be not correct. This does not affect the
communication between the ASs and the storage devices. The information that you can
query is the IO statistics in the path or the path status.
