and an ETERNUS DX Disk storage system host interface port.

Single path configuration
A single path configuration connects the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to a server via a
single path.
The server cannot access an ETERNUS DX Disk storage system when a component (such as a
controller, HBA, switch, or cable) on the path has a problem. The system must be stopped during
the replacement of failed components and controller firmware.
In a single path connection configuration, the path failover and load balancing functions are not
supported.
A multipath connection configuration is recommended to maintain availability when a problem
occurs.
