HP Secure Path

Multipathing software for Windows, Linux, NetWare, and HP-UX
(active/passive environments only)
Used in multipathing 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 MSA
1000-only and
MSA15 00 -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.
