With engenio/rdac that's what you have if you're lucky, but you might
just as well be unlucky and get:

(a) HBA1 ====== DS4x00 controller A  ==== LUNx
(b) HBA1 ====== DS4x00 controller B  ==== LUNx
(c) HBA2 ~~~~~~ DS4x00 controller A  ~~~~ LUNx
(d) HBA2 ~~~~~~ DS4x00 controller B  ~~~~ LUNx

Then a failure on (a) sends a failover message to controller B over (b)..

How do you cut of (a) and (c), without affecting (b) and (d) ?

I'm not familiar with EMC Clariion... but have hit this exact same
problem on IBM DS4800/RDAC.
