Nelson,

actually each vPar has TWO (2) FC's, but the path to the Symmetrix of boot vs data is different. Plus we use powerpath.

Re: Boot disks in SAN

Thanks for the clarification Harry.

I am architecting a large system that will be flexible enough. It will be HDS(XP)/EVA based using SecurePath and will be a mix of nPars and vPars. To increase vPar density - we plan to use A9784A's (PCI-X Combo 2Gbps FC/GigEthernet) - so our test/non-prod vPar can now actually require only a single PCI slot while production vPars can now subsist on just 2 PCI slots. With Boot Support to EVA's now fully supported under SecurePath 3.0D and a single vendor... we're expecting lesser bumps ahead...
