Product:

CLARiiON CX Series.

Description:

What is the differences between PowerPath Base and PowerPath Basic Failover?

Resolution:

PowerPath Base is a license key that became available with initial PowerPath for CLARiiON release:

PowerPath Base protects against HBA and CLARiiON SP failures, Symmetrix FA port failures, and back-end storage-system failures. Load balancing, auto-restore, and
path management functionality is not available. Request (RE) is the default policy when the PowerPath Base license key is added.

PowerPath Basic Failover is a Load-Balancing policy:

With Basic Failover, it protects against CLARiiON SP failures, Symmetrix FA port failures, and back-end storage-system failures. It does not provide protection against
HBA failures as it is supported in single HBA environments only. With the PowerPath 4.4.x releases, it is the default policy for CLARiiON and Symmetrix arrays when no
license key is present. Please check the most current Release Notes for more Host specific information.

Also refer to Primus Solution ID emc114228 for more information on the same.
