paths through which the VSM can access the HBA:
•
—The HBA has a single access path and present status.
•
—The HBA has a single access path and absent status.
•

NOTE:
Since HP SVSP requires dual fabrics, all HBAs installed into a host should
have at least two paths from the host to the DPMs.
Information about each access path is displayed in the Access Path tab. For more
information, see “HBA information--Access Path tab” on page 165.
