Windows Workgroup Edition |
|
| Overview |
| SANworks Secure Path v3.1 for
Windows |
| SANworks Secure Path for Microsoft
Windows 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 fail back to the original path. For systems connected to the
Enterprise Virtual Array or the HGS80 storage controllers, Secure Path can balance the
workload among available paths to optimize system performance. SANworks Secure
Path V3.1A for Windows supports Windows hosts connected to the Enterprise Virtual Array,
MA8000/EMA12000/EMA16000, RA8000/ESA12000 and RA6000 storage solutions.
SANworks Secure Path V3.1B for Windows Workgroup Edition supports Windows
hosts connected to MSA1000 and RA4100/RA4000 storage solutions. |

| Standard Features |
| 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 |
| Fibre channel storage 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 an 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.
- Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) support
- Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) support
|
| |
| Multi-host Support |
| Secure Path supports up to 16 separate
(non-cooperating) servers or up to eight pairs of clustered (cooperating) servers. Secure
Path also supports the concept of management groups to manage groups of hosts. One
management group can have up to 8 standalone hosts or 4 clusters. Multiple management
groups can be created to manage more hosts or clusters. |
| |
| 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 StorageWorks™
Command Console by Compaq notification scheme. Secure Path Manager provides for static or
automatic load balancing (user-selectable) to ensure maximum I/O efficiency, when managing
the Enterprise Virtual Array, RA8000/ESA12000, MA8000/EMA12000/EMA16000, and MA6000
