Single path HBA server can be in the same fabric as servers with multiple HBAs.
In the use of snapshots and snapclones, the source virtual disk and all associated snapshots and
snapclones must be presented to the single path hosts that are zoned with the same controller. In
the case of snapclones, after the cloning process has completed and the clone becomes an ordinary
virtual disk, you may present that virtual disk as you would any other ordinary virtual disk.
Single HBA path to the host with MPIO driver enabled to provide recovery from controller on
controller link failures.
