Main reason for using securepath is extra security: if one path fails you still have access through the other path.<BR />...I think that's why they called it securepath an not fastpath ;-)<BR /><BR />Hope this helps,<BR /><BR />Marco Thu, 21 Apr 2005 01:31:52 GMT Marco Hogeveen_1 2005-04-21T01:31:52Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/general/secure-path/m-p/3529045#M2645 Hi,<BR /><BR />In Features &amp; benefits list of secure path,HP said it can increased the performance. I want to know if I use secure path and have access to VA from 2 diffrent pathes, write &amp; read speed will be 2 times faster? I mean if write speed on to the VA be 80 MB/S, it will be 80*2=160 MB/S by secure path?<BR /><BR />Alireza Thu, 21 Apr 2005 01:02:29 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/general/secure-path/m-p/3529045#M2645 Delrish 2005-04-21T01:02:29Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/general/secure-path/m-p/3529046#M2646 Hi,<BR /><BR />No you won't get twice the speed.<BR />The FC connection will be faster, but the main bottleneck is your VA and it's disks. so you will get some performance increase, but not 100% (or close to it).
