Hi

MSA is not active-active only one controller works for each pool.

you should connect port-1 of controller A and controller B to one switch

and port-2 of both controllers to the other switch.

from the server just connect 2 ports to each switch.

and you need to zone each server port with both ports of each MSA.

Regards

give a KUDO if this helps

You don't tell about the OS and MPIO Settings.
For example ESX use "Fixed Path" by default and this result in using only one Path.
