PowerPath Access CLARiiON and DMX

We have an AIX 5.3 host with PowerPath installed. It has two HBA's. Can PowerPath access the DMX and CLARiiON using the same HBA's?

For example:
Zone 1
HBA 1 -> DMX

Zone 2
HBA 1-> CLARiiON

Zone 3
HBA 2-> DMX

Zone 4
HBA 2 -> CLARiiON

    absolutely, Clariion best practice is to zone each HBA to SPA and SPB, for example:

    zone 1 - SPA0 / HBA1
    zone 2 - SPB0 / HBA1
    zone 3 - DMX / HBA1

    zone 4 - SPA3 / HBA2
    zone 5 - SPB3 / HBA2
    zone 6 - DMX / HBA2

    also take a look at "Host connectivity guide for AIX" found here:
