HP Secure Path
www.hp.com/go/securepath
Multi-pathing software for Windows, Linux, NetWare, and HP-UX
(active/passive environments only)
Used in multi-pathing environments running active/passive array
controller firmware, Secure Path manages, monitors, and maintains
data paths between server and storage. If a path failure is
detected, traffic fails over to an alternative path.
Special Secure Path versions are available for MSA1000-only and
MSA1500-only environments. If your SAN environment includes
only MSA controllers running active/passive firmware versions 4.x
or 5.x, consider using a “Workgroup Edition” of Secure Path.
