I'm sure I must be missing something but I can't find any information on using host ports 2 and 3 on the DS4800 controllers (other than this vague reference from the DS4000 Best Practices and Performance Tuning Guide, 'If supported by the host and the operating system; additional ports may be connected for redundancy and load balancing. ')
Currently I am only using host port 1 on each controller (plus host port 4 for ERM). Which means that there is 16Gbps of potential throughput not being used.
Do I need to create a new fabric zone for each DS4800 host port and add servers that I want to use that host port to it?
Can I use 2 ports per DS4800 controller (in a fabric zone)and aggregate their throughput?
I have a mixture of Windows 2003 (using the RDAC filter driver for failover) and HP-UX 11.x (using the primary/alternate path strategy for failover).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
