Hi,

I have a server running Windows 2003 SP2 (x64) with a licensed Power Path ver. 5.1 SP1 with only 1 port on the HBA connect to the switch. I want to connect the second port on the HBA to an alternate switch. I got the physical part all understood (thanks to this forum). I want to know how windows and power path react when I hook things up.

So, I would start with

1. hook up the HBA and SP to the second switch
2. zone the switch so the HBA can see the SP
3. ?

Does Powerpath automatically register the new path with the SAN? Do I have to do anything manually (such as remove or connect host)?

Can I do this without shutting down application on this server?

Do I need to reboot the W2K3 server?

Thanks you very much for any assistance,
