MSA2012fc Can it offer 4 path to the same VDisk?

[ra999]

At the moment the interconnect setting doesn't seem to work very well.
Is there any way to have 4 path to the same VDisk with the MSA2012fc (dual controller, two ports per controller)?

Thanks

ra999,

No. A Vdisk and all volumes associated with that VDISK are owned a single controller. That controller handles all IO for that VDisk.

Assuming that the Vdisk is visible on both ports of the controller that owns it, you would need a dual fabric and then create dual zoning for each server HBA.

Without a fabric you probably can still do it but you would need 4 HBAs on the server.
