SANworksTM Secure Path v3.0 for NetWare by Compaq
SANworks Secure Path V3.0 for NetWare for RA4000/4100
OVERVIEW
SANworks Secure Path v3.0 for NetWare
SANworks Secure Path for NetWare is multi-path, high availability software, that manages and maintains continuous data access to Compaq storage
systems, enabling no single point-of-failure from server to storage. . Secure Path is host-resident software that monitors the data paths between server
and storage to increase availability of information. In the event that a path failure is detected, Secure Path fails over to an alternative path. When that path
becomes available, Secure Path can automatically failback to the original path.
SANworks Secure Path V3.0 for NetWare supports Novell NetWare hosts connected to MA8000/EMA12000, RA8000/ESA12000 and RA4100/4000
storage solutions.
SANworks Secure Path V3.0 for NetWare for RA4100/4000 supports Novell NetWare hosts connected to RA4100/RA4000 storage solutions.

No Single Point-Of-Failure
Multiple path failover capability and redundant components architecture eliminate single points-of-failure from server to storage in a clustered or single
server configuration.
High Availability
Secure Path for NetWare when used in conjunction with Fibre Channel controllers provide redundant paths for continuous 24x7 data access. Redundant
physical connections define separate physical "paths" in a Secure Path hardware configuration. Each path originates at a unique HBA port on the server
and ends at a unique RAID controller port in the storage system.
Clustered Server Support
Cluster support for host level fault tolerance and high system availability.
NetWare Cluster Server support
Multi-host Support
Secure Path supports management groups of up to 8 standalone hosts or up to 8 hosts in a cluster.
Operating System Support
Novell NetWare v5.0, v5.1 and v6.0
Manageability
Secure Path Manager (SPM) has a graphical user interface that allows continuous monitoring of the multi-path environment, displays path status and
alerts on significant events. SPM is integrated with the StorageWorksTM Command Console notification scheme by Compaq. Secure Path manager
provides for static or dynamic load balancing (user-selectable) to ensure maximum I/O efficiency.
Servers
Compaq ProLiantTM servers
