Just a couple of suggestions.

MSA FW ver?

Instead of Secure Path, have you tried Basic MPIO.
Have you tried verbosing the Windows startup to determine if it happens during HBA driver load or Secure Path.

A couple of more thoughts,
Have you tried removing the redundant side, just remove the FC cable.

Can you supply the MSA cli output >show tech_support

Hi,

Remove both fiber cables.
Check if you can boot the server.
Uninstall securepath
check all your firmware versions before you reinstall securepath.
