Table 1. Configuration maximums for multipathing on HP AlphaServer hosts
Object Maximum for multipathing support Description
Volume 255 The maximum number of volumes per I/O group that can be supported for multipathing. Because HP AlphaServer hosts have a limit of 255 LUNs per target, there is a limit of 255 volumes per I/O group.
Paths per volume 8 The maximum number of paths to each volume. The maximum paths per volume is limited by the path-failover time.
