Hi Gurus,

My system is redhat linux advanced server 2.1 , 4 itanium 64 cpus and
emc symmetrix. I have one host bus adapter connected via fibre channel
to emc disk array. Although i have two host bus adapter , i can only
use one of these cards because emc powerpath has no version for ia64.
My question is : do i need powerpath software in order to use my
second hba? As i read the documents its an application with load
balancing etc . Isnt it possible to use my second card without these
capabilities ? Or is there any other sofware that i can use on ia64?

Kind Regards,
hope
